ITIN number is a number for our husbands. We were told that we needed to file seperate or jointly even if our husbands didn't live in this country yet. Anna and I got married last year in 06 so we had to file for an ITIN number. This is because our husbands dont have a soc number to apply yet. It can take from 4 to 6 weeks to get a number. I hope this sounds right.
So if you got married this year 07 and your husband won't be here until 08 you need to apply for in ITIN number for the 2007 taxes.
Let me see if I can find the link.

ABOUT ITIN
What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit, example 9XX-7X-XXXX.
IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.
Individuals must have a filing requirement and file a valid federal income tax return to receive an ITIN, unless they meet an exception.
What is an ITIN used for?
ITINs are for federal tax reporting only, and are not intended to serve any other purpose. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system.
IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers.
Who needs an ITIN?
IRS issues ITINs to foreign nationals and others who have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for SSNs. A non-resident alien individual not eligible for an SSN, who is required to file a U.S. tax return only to claim a refund of tax under the provisions of a U.S. tax treaty, needs an ITIN.
Examples of individuals who need ITINs include:
Non-resident alien filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
Dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien
Dependent or spouse of a non-resident alien visa holder
How do I know if I need an ITIN?
If you do not have an SSN and are not eligible to obtain an SSN, but you have a requirement to furnish a federal tax identification number or file a federal income tax return, you must apply for an ITIN. By law, an alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and an SSN.
IRS processes returns showing SSNs or ITINs in the blanks where tax forms request SSNs. IRS no longer accepts, and will not process, forms showing "SSA205c," "applied for," "NRA," blanks, etc.
Are ITINs valid for identification?
No. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. Since ITINs are strictly for tax processing, IRS does not apply the same standards as agencies that provide genuine identity certification.
ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person, and IRS does not further validate the authenticity of identity documents. ITINs do not prove identity outside the tax system, and should not be offered or accepted as identification for non-tax purposes.
Are ITINs valid for work purposes?
No. ITINs are for federal income tax purposes only.
REVISED APPLICATION STANDARDS FOR ITINS
What are the revised application standards for ITINs?
Effective immediately, each ITIN applicant must now:
Apply using the revised Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ; and
Attach a federal income tax return to the Form W-7.
Applicants who meet an exception to the requirement to file a tax return (see the instructions for Form W-7) must provide documentation to support the exception.
Why is IRS revising the ITIN application process?
The revisions to the ITIN application process will help ensure ITINs are used for their intended tax administration purposes.
What documents are acceptable as proof of identity and foreign status?
IRS has streamlined the number of documents the agency will accept as proof of identity to obtain an ITIN. There are now 13 acceptable documents.
An original, or a certified or notarized copy, of an UNEXPIRED passport is the only document that is accepted for both identity and foreign status. If you do not have a passport, you must provide a combination of current documents that contain expiration dates - we accept docs issued within 12 months of the application if no expiration date is normally available. The documents must also show your name and photograph, and support your claim of foreign status.
IRS will accept certified or notarized copies of a combination (two or more) of the following documents, in lieu of a passport:
National identification card (must show photo, name, current address, date of birth, and expiration date)
U.S. driver's license
Civil birth certificate
Foreign driver's license
U.S. state identification card
Foreign voter's registration card
U.S. military identification card
Foreign military identification card
Visa (MUST BE NOTARIZED BY A USA OFFICAL) if in the USA need the orginal!!!!
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) photo identification
Medical records (dependents - under 14 years old - only)
School records (dependents and/or students - under 25 years old - only)
HELP AND INFORMATION
How do I apply for an ITIN?
Use the January 2007 revision of Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to apply. Attach a valid federal income tax return unless you qualify for an exception, and include your original or certified proof of identity documents.
Because you are filing your tax return as an attachment to your ITIN application, you should not mail your return to the address listed in the Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ instructions. Instead, send your return, Form W-7 and proof of identity documents to:
Internal Revenue Service
Austin Service Center
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
You may also apply using the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent or visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in lieu of mailing your information to the IRS in Austin. TACs in the United States provide in-person help with ITIN applications on a walk-in or appointment basis. Applicants outside the United States should contact an overseas IRS office to find out if that office accepts Form W-7 applications. The IRS's ITIN Unit in Austin issues all numbers by mail.
When should I apply for an ITIN?
You should complete Form W-7 as soon as you are ready to file your federal income tax return, since you need to attach the return to your application.
If you meet one of the exceptions and do not need to file a return, submit Form W-7, along with the documents required to meet your purpose for needing an ITIN, as soon as possible after you determine that you are covered by that exception.
You can apply for an ITIN any time during the year; however, if the tax return you attach to Form W-7 is filed after the return's due date, you may owe interest and/or penalties. You should file your current year return by the April 15 deadline to avoid this.
How and when can I expect to receive my ITIN?
If you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete, you will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number, usually within four to six weeks. The IRS has changed from an ITIN card to an authorization letter to avoid any possible similarities with a Social Security Number card. Current ITIN holders' cards will not be replaced; they should continue to use the numbers previously issued when they need to supply identifying numbers for tax purposes.
If you have not received your ITIN or other correspondence six weeks after applying, you may call the IRS to find out the status of your application.
Where can I get help with my ITIN application?
You may call the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 for information and help in completing your Form W-7 and your tax return, or to check on the status of your application six weeks after submitting Form W-7.
Assistance is also available by appointment at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) in the United States to provide in-person help with ITIN applications on a walk-in or appointment basis. Applicants outside the United States may contact an overseas IRS office to find out if that office accepts Form W-7 applications.
You may also use the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent.
What is an Acceptance Agent?
An Acceptance Agent is an individual, business or organization (college, financial institution, accounting firm, etc.) authorized by IRS to assist individuals in obtaining ITINs. Certifying Acceptance Agents review applicants' documentation, complete a certificate of accuracy, and forward the certificate and application to the IRS for processing. Some Acceptance Agents may charge a fee.

Hello everybody!
I hope everyone is well. It's been awhile since I posted here in this forum. I am still awaiting news on my RFE which was sent back to CSC on May 12. As of today there is NO record of it. I will send it again tomorrow.

Then I wonder why I didn't get an RFE for that? It still would of saved me time if I got an RFE because we had to wait three months. The congressman said it was fine. I think it doesn't hurt to try.

So if you got married this year 07 and your husband won't be here until 08 you need to apply for in ITIN number for the 2007 taxes.
Let me see if I can find the link.
OO...I got married 2006 as well, and i did my taxes for this year already
I did not know that i needed to do this is this going to be a problem at the interview ?I don't think it will be a problem at your interview this month. My tax man wouldn't even do my taxes this year until we got the ITIN number. He said it was against the law not to file jointly or seperate when your married. You may need to look into this.

Yes they take one at the interview. We only have one left. That we need to use for my new soc card and passport.
I would apply for the CR1 visa with the copy your minster gives you that day of your marriage. Photocopy it and send it in. That saved us a good 3 months on waiting for the marriage licenses.
the size how much it will cost. He usualy recieved the mail in 5 days.

Jax I spoke to a couple of other ppl and both recv'd a RFE for not having the original marriage cert. I think it just depends on the IMO but I wouldn't risk it.
Then I wonder why I didn't get an RFE for that? It still would of saved me time if I got an RFE because we had to wait three months. The congressman said it was fine. I think it doesn't hurt to try.
I think it's b/c you had the "hook up". Your congressman was able to stamp your petition and I know for a fact congressional services are normally priority over everyone else. Also if she's in JA it shouldnt' take that long to get the marriage cert. It only took us 2 wks but took him to some time to send it to me.

ABOUT ITIN
What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit, example 9XX-7X-XXXX.
IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.
Individuals must have a filing requirement and file a valid federal income tax return to receive an ITIN, unless they meet an exception.
What is an ITIN used for?
ITINs are for federal tax reporting only, and are not intended to serve any other purpose. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system.
IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers.
Who needs an ITIN?
IRS issues ITINs to foreign nationals and others who have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for SSNs. A non-resident alien individual not eligible for an SSN, who is required to file a U.S. tax return only to claim a refund of tax under the provisions of a U.S. tax treaty, needs an ITIN.
Examples of individuals who need ITINs include:
Non-resident alien filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
Dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien
Dependent or spouse of a non-resident alien visa holder
How do I know if I need an ITIN?
If you do not have an SSN and are not eligible to obtain an SSN, but you have a requirement to furnish a federal tax identification number or file a federal income tax return, you must apply for an ITIN. By law, an alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and an SSN.
IRS processes returns showing SSNs or ITINs in the blanks where tax forms request SSNs. IRS no longer accepts, and will not process, forms showing "SSA205c," "applied for," "NRA," blanks, etc.
Are ITINs valid for identification?
No. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. Since ITINs are strictly for tax processing, IRS does not apply the same standards as agencies that provide genuine identity certification.
ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person, and IRS does not further validate the authenticity of identity documents. ITINs do not prove identity outside the tax system, and should not be offered or accepted as identification for non-tax purposes.
Are ITINs valid for work purposes?
No. ITINs are for federal income tax purposes only.
REVISED APPLICATION STANDARDS FOR ITINS
What are the revised application standards for ITINs?
Effective immediately, each ITIN applicant must now:
Apply using the revised Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ; and
Attach a federal income tax return to the Form W-7.
Applicants who meet an exception to the requirement to file a tax return (see the instructions for Form W-7) must provide documentation to support the exception.
Why is IRS revising the ITIN application process?
The revisions to the ITIN application process will help ensure ITINs are used for their intended tax administration purposes.
What documents are acceptable as proof of identity and foreign status?
IRS has streamlined the number of documents the agency will accept as proof of identity to obtain an ITIN. There are now 13 acceptable documents.
An original, or a certified or notarized copy, of an UNEXPIRED passport is the only document that is accepted for both identity and foreign status. If you do not have a passport, you must provide a combination of current documents that contain expiration dates - we accept docs issued within 12 months of the application if no expiration date is normally available. The documents must also show your name and photograph, and support your claim of foreign status.
IRS will accept certified or notarized copies of a combination (two or more) of the following documents, in lieu of a passport:
National identification card (must show photo, name, current address, date of birth, and expiration date)
U.S. driver's license
Civil birth certificate
Foreign driver's license
U.S. state identification card
Foreign voter's registration card
U.S. military identification card
Foreign military identification card
Visa (MUST BE NOTARIZED BY A USA OFFICAL) if in the USA need the orginal!!!!
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) photo identification
Medical records (dependents - under 14 years old - only)
School records (dependents and/or students - under 25 years old - only)
HELP AND INFORMATION
How do I apply for an ITIN?
Use the January 2007 revision of Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to apply. Attach a valid federal income tax return unless you qualify for an exception, and include your original or certified proof of identity documents.
Because you are filing your tax return as an attachment to your ITIN application, you should not mail your return to the address listed in the Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ instructions. Instead, send your return, Form W-7 and proof of identity documents to:
Internal Revenue Service
Austin Service Center
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
You may also apply using the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent or visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in lieu of mailing your information to the IRS in Austin. TACs in the United States provide in-person help with ITIN applications on a walk-in or appointment basis. Applicants outside the United States should contact an overseas IRS office to find out if that office accepts Form W-7 applications. The IRS's ITIN Unit in Austin issues all numbers by mail.
When should I apply for an ITIN?
You should complete Form W-7 as soon as you are ready to file your federal income tax return, since you need to attach the return to your application.
If you meet one of the exceptions and do not need to file a return, submit Form W-7, along with the documents required to meet your purpose for needing an ITIN, as soon as possible after you determine that you are covered by that exception.
You can apply for an ITIN any time during the year; however, if the tax return you attach to Form W-7 is filed after the return's due date, you may owe interest and/or penalties. You should file your current year return by the April 15 deadline to avoid this.
How and when can I expect to receive my ITIN?
If you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete, you will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number, usually within four to six weeks. The IRS has changed from an ITIN card to an authorization letter to avoid any possible similarities with a Social Security Number card. Current ITIN holders' cards will not be replaced; they should continue to use the numbers previously issued when they need to supply identifying numbers for tax purposes.
If you have not received your ITIN or other correspondence six weeks after applying, you may call the IRS to find out the status of your application.
Where can I get help with my ITIN application?
You may call the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 for information and help in completing your Form W-7 and your tax return, or to check on the status of your application six weeks after submitting Form W-7.
Assistance is also available by appointment at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) in the United States to provide in-person help with ITIN applications on a walk-in or appointment basis. Applicants outside the United States may contact an overseas IRS office to find out if that office accepts Form W-7 applications.
You may also use the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent.
What is an Acceptance Agent?
An Acceptance Agent is an individual, business or organization (college, financial institution, accounting firm, etc.) authorized by IRS to assist individuals in obtaining ITINs. Certifying Acceptance Agents review applicants' documentation, complete a certificate of accuracy, and forward the certificate and application to the IRS for processing. Some Acceptance Agents may charge a fee.

Thanks Eric for the help but I think we will be okay. He got the price down to 200 dollars for 2 days. That is a lot better.
Jax - did you try getting prices from Hertz or Thrifty? I've rented from both of them before. I know they're cheaper than $100 a day
That is including gas too. His mom lives in the country so its a little drive. I forgot to mention that whoops.

I filed Head of householdFor IRS purposes you are ok w/filing HOH. I was told I could either file that or married filing jointly. I chose to do the MFJ b/c it had a bigger refund & of course another proof of relationship..
I tried doing a search for you but wasn't very successful. I'm still learning that option.
Oh ok,,thank God
thanks Nyseness..I was trying to search as well but I was doing it by going back into the pages I hope there is a easier wayOh wow Anna I didn't know that. My tax guy said it was a must. Darn I could of got my refund already but I guess it will be bigger then.

I filed single for 3 years, eventually got the ITIN, but the tax forms included in the Affidavit of support were that of filing single. Late last year I refiled for those years after receiving the ITIN. Got a BIG refund. With interest.....

Actually Jax you wouldn't be able to file HOH b/c you don't have any dependents. It's for indivisuals who can claim other dependents besides the spouse. I'm also wondering how could your tax guy submit the W-7 w/o a filed tax return? The instructions said the application will get rejected w/o one. Don't feel bad I still have to wait for the actual refund. The IRS told me if I don't recv something in the mail w/in two wks then E-file my federal return so it will speed up my refund. I'm still debating that one b/c I dont' want to go thru the hassle of mailing it to Javon for his signature. We'll see.

I dont know he did everything. He made me get the form notarized and signed and back to him. He sent off the day taxes were due and filled an extension for me. So I am hopping I recieve some money for Dwain. This will help put him through college this fall.

Can you send some good vibes my way
! I haven't heard anything about Dwain's ITIN application yet. Maybe we should call when he gets here next week. We really need the funds too. Or we will soon sink. Now, what is the ITIN # and when do you apply for it ?
I only need to file this if he is working correct? If he is not working after our marriage do i still have to get an ITIN number?
ITIN number is a number for our husbands. We were told that we needed to file seperate or jointly even if our husbands didn't live in this country yet. Anna and I got married last year in 06 so we had to file for an ITIN number. This is because our husbands dont have a soc number to apply yet. It can take from 4 to 6 weeks to get a number. I hope this sounds right.
So if you got married this year 07 and your husband won't be here until 08 you need to apply for in ITIN number for the 2007 taxes.
Let me see if I can find the link.

Yes they take one at the interview. We only have one left. That we need to use for my new soc card and passport.
I would apply for the CR1 visa with the copy your minster gives you that day of your marriage. Photocopy it and send it in. That saved us a good 3 months on waiting for the marriage licenses.
the size how much it will cost. He usualy recieved the mail in 5 days.

Jax I spoke to a couple of other ppl and both recv'd a RFE for not having the original marriage cert. I think it just depends on the IMO but I wouldn't risk it.
I've been wondering about this. I guess i can send the copy in after the wedding and if I get an RFE I'll send in the expedited original copy. Either way I don't lose any time.

Then I wonder why I didn't get an RFE for that? It still would of saved me time if I got an RFE because we had to wait three months. The congressman said it was fine. I think it doesn't hurt to try.
I think it's b/c you had the "hook up". Your congressman was able to stamp your petition and I know for a fact congressional services are normally priority over everyone else. Also if she's in JA it shouldnt' take that long to get the marriage cert. It only took us 2 wks but took him to some time to send it to me.
Nysness, did you expedite your certificate to get it in 2 weeks or did you just go the normal route? i will be in JA for 4 weeks after my wedding, so if we can save money by having it sent to the JA address and still get it in 2 weeks I'd do that.

I have a minor rant...just when I thought we were completely done with visa crap...I found out that my husband needs another. We were planning on spending 3 weeks trekking across Europe at the end of the summer. We were going to start in London - come to find out, he needs a visa to enter the UK. Not only that, but it costs $132. I haven't looked into the other countries that we wanted to visit, but i'm sure we'll have to apply for a separate visa for each country. That will significantly add to the cost of what is already an expensive tour.
Dammit, I feel like this damn immigration business is a burden that I'd rather not deal with. AARRRRRGH!!!
~rant over~

Sorry to hear
Once he's eligible for citizenship have him file ASAP, that way no extra charges...
Depending on which countries in Europe you are going to, you can apply for a Schengen visa, that covers 15 of the 25 all for one price rather than having to apply seperately....Here's a link

He sent money to his father because he knew he woudn't blow it instead used it in the household to help them both, his mother was upset cause she felt like the money should have gone to her. Supposed ly called all the family talking all theis stuff about hose he'smaking all this money and not taking care of her I want to say where was she when he was walking around bare footed cause he didn't even have shoes to put on his feet :blush:This lady has a lot of guilt about giving him away when he was little. The two times I met her, she would cry cause she feels, or at least she told me that she was sorry for how she treated him when he was little, but when you talk to her it's a differnent story.

This is kind of how Andre feels. Although, you get enough phone calls and enough stress from said phone calls and eventually you just stop taking the calls at all.
I really feel for. If you knew any of the horror stories, you would wonder why the guy would think of her at all.
Do you think if we know in advance that we can just get three or four copies on the wedding day?
