ITIN Eligibility: Do You Qualify?

An ITIN is required solely for the purpose of filing a U.S. Federal Tax Return when you do not meet the eligibility requirements to obtain a social security number. It does not authorize you to work in the U.S.

An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is an IRS tax processing number issued to Canadians who:

  • do not possess a U.S. social security number.
  • do not meet the eligibility requirements to obtain a social security number.

You need an ITIN if you are:

  • required to file a U.S. tax return.
  • a spouse or a dependent of a U.S. citizen.
  • a student, professor, or researcher filing a U.S. tax return.
