TAX ID (ITIN)


ITIN Number - Tax ID

If you don’t have a Social Security Number (SSN), any non-resident doing business in the US needs to request an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) as it’s the the only legal way to declare your taxes and be in compliance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). With Dominium Consulting, you can have your Tax ID (ITIN) with comfort, worry free, and most importantly, with confidence.

- Did you know:

- Having doubts about your TAX ID?

A Tax ID or ITIN NUMBER is an identification number used by foreigners who are physical taxpayers but cannot obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) to declare their taxes and obtain a refund of the income withheld by the IRS. Those who are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN) can obtain an ITIN, regardless of their immigration status or country of origin. People often need a Tax ID because they have been advised by a bank that they cannot open a bank account without that number even if the account is opened by a non-profit organization.

The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique number for commercial entities operating in the United States. It is a nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has a function similar to the CNPJ, used in Brazil.

The EIN is also known as Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Federal Tax Identification Number.

An ITIN is not a work permit, the Tax IDs are for Federal income tax purposes only. Getting an ITIN does not change your immigration status or your right to work in the United States. It is not an SSN, and you should not submit work applications using a Tax ID (ITIN). Nowadays, the government makes an E-verify system available to all employers which allows them to verify the validity of the number used in work applications

The Internal Revenue Service does not share information about ITIN taxpayers with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

TheTax ID (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that people (including unauthorized immigrants) pay taxes. Even if they do not have a Social Security (SSC), and regardless of the status of Immigration, many immigrants have ITINs. People who do not have legitimate status in the United States can obtain an ITIN.

The ITIN, in addition to being used for filing taxes, can also be tied to your bank accounts and consistent payment will generate your credit score with the credit agencies: Experian, Transunion and Equifax, which are used by banks and other institutions when issuing lines of credit.

It is important to note that:

  • It can help you prove that you have good moral character and that you were present in the United States if you have the right to apply for an immigrant status.

It may allow you to open a bank account and as mentioned above establish a financial history.

You will not receive a card, but an IRS letter of authorization. This is to avoid any similarity and confusion with the Social Security Number Card (SSN).

If you qualify for the ITIN and your application is complete, you will receive a letter from the IRS that will be assigned to your tax ID number, usually within 8 to 12 weeks.

If you have not received any letter from the IRS during this time, please send a notice to our offices by email; info@dominium.consulting or using our contact page, we will be contacting the IRS, along with you, to check the status of your request.
