With the new Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) processing rules issued by the IRS in 2012, getting an ITIN will now require you to submit a copy of your Canadian passport certified by the Canadian government.
If you cant make it to a Passport Canada office, then Gedeon Law & CPA has been in touch with the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles to assist Canadians with obtaining the proper passport certification.
An ITIN is a processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who are not eligible for a U.S. Social Security Number, but are required to fulfill a tax filing requirement in the U.S.
Please contact us today if you need assistance with applying for an ITIN or consultation to determine your cross border filing, tax and estate planning needs.
