What is an ITIN?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is required for individuals who are not eligible for a Social Security Number but need to file taxes in the U.S. Avila Document Services offers expert assistance in applying for your ITIN, ensuring all necessary documentation is accurately completed and submitted on time.

What is a CAA and Why use one?

When you use a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), you don’t have to send your original documents to the IRS. Instead, the CAA verifies your identity and documentation, allowing you to keep your important documents in your possession while still meeting IRS requirements. It’s a safer, faster, and more convenient way to apply for or renew an ITIN.

Who needs an ITIN?

If you are  foreign entrepreneur, investor, or individual with U.S. tax obligations, obtaining an Individual Tax Payer identification (ITIN) is essential. An ITIN is issued by the IRS to individuals who do not qualify for a Social Security Number (SSN) but need to file U.S. taxes, open a U.S. bank account, or conduct business in the U.S.
