Hello all.  

 

From previous posts and search, there seems to be 3 accredited IRS service centers that were able to process W-7 form for ITIN for foreign spouses.  However, the links are now not working.  Has anybody recently tried to acquire an ITIN for their spouse based based in the Philippines.  What's the process now?  

 

 

Thanks!

you can only apply for the ITIN when you file your tax returns

the spouse will fill out the W7 (labeled for 2018 when it tax forms are available)

you send this to IRS with tax returns and copy of marriage certificate and proof of birth

process is a US IRS process / not related to Phillipines

I did it for my 2010 returns as i married in that year

he arrived in US in 2015

also check the box on the DS 260 for her new SS #/ saves a lot of time and stess later

I have heard from a few others that they were not able to get an ITIN from those sites for their spouse in the Philippines.

I've been trying to do this too.  So far I've run into brick walls.  One issue is that I am taking Rose to Hong Kong and Macau on my next visit to the Philippines.  I have her passport with me but they are claiming as many as 14 weeks if I send it in.  They have agents (usually tax attorneys or H&R Block) who can file without sending the passport to the IRS but the cheapest I've found so far is over $500 just to file.  I may try again after this visit so I may eat this year's deduction and file 2019 taxes when she is with me and has an SSN.

I sent my husbands passport off with the ITIN application and the tax return.

 

When I went back to see him I took the passport back with me.

 

of course that is by far the easiest thing to do, a friend of his brought it to the USA and mailed it to me, and I sent it off with the signed ITIN

My problem is they say it takes 14 weeks before I get her passport back if I mail it in.
