Our ITIN solution offers a simple and frugal approach to help non-US-residing Canadians renew their ITIN. This process should be completed once every three years to keep the ITIN active and prevent it from being reissued.  

We will guide you in submitting a W-7 form and tax return (Form 1040-NR) to the IRS. By completing a series of questions, we will use your information to generate a completed W-7 renewal application and 1040-NR, along with further instructions for filing.

Importantly, this method assumes the following:

  • You are a non-resident alien (you do not hold a US visa, green card, or pass the substantial presence test)
  • You have not had a tax form issued by the IRS such as a Form 1099, W-2, etc. 
  • You do not have or qualify to have a US social security number.

If any of the above apply to you, please do not complete this form. Email us instead and we may be able to assist depending on your situation.
