Generally, individual U.S. taxpayers use an SSN as their tax identification number for all U.S. tax matters. However, the SSN is generally only available to U.S. citizens, green card holders, and people authorized to work in the U.S. Non-U.S. citizens need to get an ITIN to open a U.S. Bank Account, other payment accounts such as PayPal without an SSN, and more.
ITINs are generally required for U.S. federal tax reporting purposes.
An ITIN allows you to file your taxes and claim dependents you support in the U.S., Mexico or Canada.
An ITIN gets issued regardless of your immigration or visa status in the U.S. In fact, someone who has never entered the United States may well have an ITIN or require one.
An ITIN allows you to get a refund from your income withheld by the IRS, if you qualify.
An ITIN may even allow you to apply for a loan.
Under the Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes (“PATH”) Act enacted in December 2015, taxpayers who have not used their ITINs on a tax return in the last three years or those with certain middle digits in the ITIN number (78 or 79) must renew their ITIN before filing a 2016 U.S. federal tax return. The renewal period began on October 1, 2016.
Applying for an ITIN on your own can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. And if your application is rejected after waiting months for a reply, which isn’t uncommon, you’ll have to start from scratch and re-apply.
That doesn’t sound fun, does it?
ITIN applications are made by filing the Form W-7, Application for IRS ITIN, with the IRS. When you work with Valua Partners (an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent), we help reduce delays and rejections by:

We are one of the only IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents (“CAA”) in Canada, trained and authorized by the IRS to assist non-U.S. citizens who don’t have a Social Security Number (“SSN”) to get their ITIN. Years ago, the IRS would accept returns without ITIN, but not anymore – anything submitted without an SSN or ITIN will generally get rejected by the IRS processing center. While the task sounds straightforward, the ITIN process can get complex and time-consuming.
Get clear answers before you start. We’ll confirm eligibility, explain required documents, and outline what to expect – especially how our Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) process helps most clients avoid mailing their original passport.
Applying for an ITIN can be complex, especially for Canadians navigating U.S. tax regulations. That’s where a Canadian CAA comes in! A CAA is a tax professional authorized by the IRS to assist individuals who don’t qualify for an SSN in obtaining ITIN. These numbers are essential for filing U.S. tax returns and meeting other IRS reporting requirements.
If you work with Valua as your Certified Acceptance Agent, you keep your original passport. We complete the required verification and submit the application with the appropriate documentation.
Under new IRS rules, applications are required to send original identification to the IRS and wait for it to be returned, this can add significant delay and risk.
With the new changes implemented, a Certified Copy of a Canadian Passport is no longer accepted as valid, the original Passport must be mailed to the IRS unless a Certified Acceptance Agent is used.
The most common causes are incomplete W-7 packages, documentation that doesn’t meet IRS standards, missing attachments, or mismatched filing reasons. Our process is designed to prevent those avoidable issues.

Yes. We regularly assist clients with reapplications and corrections.
