An ITIN is an identification number used by individuals who canât get a Social Security number to file their taxes and get a refund from income withheld by the IRS. People who canât have a Social Security Number may get an ITIN regardless of their immigration status or country of origin. By law, you canât have an ITIN and a Social Security Number. The ITIN is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit (for example, 9XX-7X-XXXX). 2.
Like an SSN, an ITIN number is nine-digits in the format xxx-xx-xxx. But the first digit will always be a 9, and the second section of the number will be in the range of 70-88 (e.g., 9xx-88-xxxx). Since the program began in 1996 the IRS has issued 21 million ITINs. To obtain an ITIN an alien with foreign status should complete Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. By law, an alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and a SSN.
