Get Your ITIN

An ITIN is the US tax ID number for people who cannot get a Social Security number. The IRS does not issue one on request. It wants an approved reason, the document that proves it, and a verified ID. Miss one and the IRS rejects the package, and you start over.

We do it for you, so you don’t have to figure it out yourself.

How it works

Every application has three layers: the form, the supporting document, and your ID.

  1. We match your reason to the IRS rules. The IRS accepts only certain reasons, and each reason has its own required proof. We tell you which one fits before you spend money.

  2. We build the package. That is Form W-7, the supporting document, and your certified ID.

  3. We file it and see it through. We answer any IRS questions and tell you when your number arrives. If the IRS rejects the application, we fix it and re-file at no extra fee.

Your passport stays with you

Christine Dahl is an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent. We verify your passport ourselves, so it never goes to the IRS. If you come to our office in The Hague, you leave with it the same day. If you apply by mail, we confirm your identity on a short video call and send the passport straight back.

When the IRS will issue an ITIN

The IRS issues an ITIN only for a reason on its list. The common ones:

  • You must file a US non-resident income tax return.

  • You are selling real estate in the United States.

  • You will receive US dividends, distributions, a pension or an inheritance from a payer that reports to the IRS or withholds tax.

  • You will earn money in the US and a tax treaty lowers your withholding.

Not sure which one is yours? That is step one of our job.

Fees

You pay for the parts you need.

Just the ITIN

  • ITIN application, €450. You bring the supporting document. We check it, prepare Form W-7, certify your passport and file. If the document does not meet the IRS requirement, the supporting-document fee applies.

  • Supporting document, + €350. You don’t have the document yet. We identify the right reason and get the proof from the US attorney, pension company or bank.

Filing with a US tax return? The ITIN fee is the same, and the return is quoted separately.

Inheritance

  • Estate engagement, €950 per estate. We explain the process to the family, work directly with the executor and the estate’s US attorney, and get the supporting document for all the heirs.

  • Each heir, €450. Form W-7, passport certification and filing.

Selling US property (FIRPTA)

  • Closing package, €1,350. Your ITIN will not arrive before the closing, and it does not need to. We make sure the ITIN application and the withholding forms reach the IRS together and correct, and we work with your closing agent until the sale closes, so the tax withheld is matched to you.

  • Full package, €2,500. The closing package plus next year’s return that claims your refund.

  • Contract review, + €500. When you want us to read the sale contract.

Starting a US company

  • Scoping call, €300. One hour on what you want to build and where. Credited against the launch fee.

  • Company launch, €1,950. We form your LLC, get its EIN and your ITIN, and set up your compliance calendar. State fees are charged at cost.

  • Annual compliance, €950 a year. The filing every foreign-owned US company owes each year. Miss it and the penalty starts at $25,000.

Fees exclude BTW where applicable, are paid before we start, and are non-refundable. The IRS usually answers an ITIN application in 10 to 12 weeks. The decision belongs to the IRS, and no one can guarantee it.
