Taxpayer ID Numbers
All filers of US tax returns and their dependents must provide a taxpayer identification number: either a US Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). You should secure an SSN by using Form SS-5 if you qualify for one. If not, you should complete Form W-7 to apply for an ITIN. Both forms include all the necessary instructions to apply. To avoid being disallowed exemptions, you must obtain SSNs or ITINs for all children and dependents claimed on your income tax return.

Business/Estate Tax Returns
Our office does not provide tax assistance on business returns or estate tax returns. For these returns, as well as complex individual tax returns, we suggest you contact the Office of American Services for a list of US tax preparers.
