ITIN application

Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)

CAAs are individuals who have entered into a formal agreement with the IRS and are allowed to help individuals obtain ITINs. As a CAA, helps US residents and US non-residents, their spouses and dependents to apply for an ITIN. Upon review of your documentation, will complete a certificate of accuracy and forward your application along with tax documents to the IRS for processing.

The benefits of using the services of a CAA are:

• The interview with the CAA that clearly explains the requirements and obligations with the taxpayer.

• The correct completion of the Form W-7

• The inclusion of the correct documents for the specific case.

• The taxpayer does not need to certify the passport in his own country (avoiding costs and time) with exclusion of dependants.

• To avoid long lines in a IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center

• Usually the ITIN requested through a CAA has priority over those submitted by individual taxpayers.
