Hi TheDream.US,

While an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) does not grant work authorization, having this number can serve numerous purposes that can help you earn income and file taxes.

There are 3 ways to apply for an ITIN. Keep in mind, the process takes time.

Read our ITIN Application Guide to learn about the 3 options, along with free and low-cost tax assistance resources.

This is also a reminder to attend one of our upcoming ITINs Open Doors – How Do I Apply for One? Sessions with Professor Francine Lipman - the next one is March 14th at 6 pm ET.

Watch the Feb 14th Session here.

P.S. You may already have an ITIN and not know it! If your parents filed income taxes and claimed you as a dependent, it’s likely that you already have an ITIN. Read our How to Determine if I Already Have an ITIN? Guide and discover whether or not you already have an ITIN.

If you already have an ITIN or recently applied for an ITIN, please take 5 minutes to take this short survey.
