Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs)

The IRS will issue you an ITIN if you need to file a tax return but are not eligible for a social security number (SSN).

Who needs an ITIN? Usually it is:

  • Graduate students with a fellowship

  • Student athletes with a full scholarship (tuition, room, and board)

  • Spouses and children on a -2 visa when they and their primary visa holder become resident aliens.
