Certification of IRS Form W-7 – Agincourt Ontario

Effective April 2024, I am no longer serving as an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent and am unable to assist with obtaining an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).

The ITIN is needed for:

  • non-U.S persons filing U.S. tax return 1040NR, the W-7 is attached to the return
  • persons claiming an exemption for a non-U.S. person as an eligible dependent on a U.S. tax return
  • non-U.S. persons completing IRS Form W8-ECI/W8-Ben that is required for waivers for reduced withholding of the otherwise 30% U.S. non-resident tax, say on gross rental income and other passive income
  • purchasers of U.S. real estate from a non-U.S. person completing IRS Form 8288A or 8288-B (application for reduced withholding) on the sale of U.S. real estate

To prove foreign status and identity, you must submit certain original documentation or certified copies issued by the issuing agency. Your passport as an stand-alone document will prove both foreign status and identity. For those renting U.S. properties, you need to obtain a letter from the management company on their letterhead indicating that the ITIN is needed for reporting and/or withholding purposes. This letter must be attached to the W-7. Other withholding agents must prepare a similiar letter.

ITINs for dependents may require submission of original documentation.
