What Is an ITIN?
The Gateway to Your Casino Tax Refund
What is an ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is a 9-digit tax processing number (format: 9XX-XX-XXXX) issued by the IRS to individuals who are not eligible for a U.S. Social Security Number but who have a U.S. tax filing obligation.
Who needs one?
Any non-U.S. resident who received casino winnings subject to withholding and wants to file a 1040-NR return to claim a refund. Casinos do not issue refunds directly — the refund comes from the IRS, which requires an ITIN to identify you.
Why is it required for 1040-NR?
Form 1040-NR (U.S. Non-Resident Income Tax Return) requires a taxpayer identification number on every return. For non-U.S. citizens without a Social Security Number, an ITIN is the only valid identifier the IRS accepts.
Do ITINs expire?
ITINs issued before 2013 that have not been used on a return in 3 consecutive years expire and must be renewed. We verify your existing ITIN's status before filing and handle any renewal needed at no additional charge.
Our Process
How We Handle Your ITIN Application
We Prepare Form W-7
We complete IRS Form W-7 (Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) on your behalf, ensuring every field is accurate and complete before submission.
Identity Document Certification
Your passport or government ID must be certified. We guide you through the certification process using an IRS-accepted Certifying Acceptance Agent or notary — no need to mail originals.
Submit to IRS
We submit your W-7 application directly to the IRS ITIN Operations office, along with your supporting 1040-NR return draft and all required identity documents.
ITIN Issued
The IRS issues your ITIN (typically 7–11 weeks). We notify you immediately upon receipt and proceed directly to filing your 1040-NR refund claim without delay.
ITIN application, certification coordination, IRS submission, and status monitoring are fully included in our $199 flat fee. You pay nothing until your refund arrives.
FAQ
ITIN Questions Answered
What is an ITIN and why do I need one to claim a casino tax refund?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a 9-digit number issued by the IRS to non-U.S. residents who need to file U.S. tax returns. It is required to process any 1040-NR return — including casino tax refund claims. Without an ITIN, the IRS cannot identify you as the filer.
How long does it take to get an ITIN?
The IRS typically processes ITIN applications within 7–11 weeks from receipt of a complete W-7 application. We monitor the application on your behalf and notify you as soon as the ITIN is issued.
Do I need to send my passport to the IRS?
No. Original documents do not need to be mailed to the IRS. We work with Certifying Acceptance Agents who can certify copies of your identity documents locally, eliminating the risk of losing your passport in the mail.
Is the ITIN application included in the $199 fee?
Yes. ITIN preparation, submission, and follow-up are available for a one-time $75 fee, separate from the $199 filing fee. There are no additional charges for first-time applicants. The fee is only collected after your refund is received.
