Why Velotax

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Most ITIN services ask you to mail your passport overseas, visit a US consulate, or hand things off to a generic tax preparer. Velotax does it right: IRS-authorized, remote by design, and built for people living outside the United States.

🛡️

Keep your passport

Our IRS Certified Acceptance Agent verifies your identity over secure video — your passport never leaves your home.

⚡

Fast by default

Application submitted to the IRS in under 48 hours. Typical IRS turnaround is 7–11 weeks, longer during peak tax season.

🌍

Works worldwide

Applicants from 100+ countries. If you have a valid passport and a real reason, we can likely file for you.

🎯

Done-for-you W-7

We prepare your W-7 form, assemble supporting documents, and submit directly to the IRS on your behalf.

Built for

Foreign nationals who need access to the US financial system.

An ITIN is a 9-digit US tax identification number for people who aren't eligible for a Social Security Number. Here's why most of our clients apply.

📄

File a US tax return

Required when you receive US-sourced income as a non-resident (Form 1040-NR).

🤝

Claim treaty benefits

Reduce US withholding tax under your country's tax treaty with the US.

🎨

Get paid by US platforms

Required by Stripe, Gumroad, App Store, Amazon KDP and many US payers.

Why one price works.

The IRS fee for an ITIN is $0 — but getting it right is the hard part. Missing documents, mistranslated forms, or an unauthorized preparer will kick your application back months.

Velotax bundles an IRS-authorized agent, the W-7 prep, identity verification, and support into one fee so you never need to guess what a step costs.

Money-back guarantee: if the IRS denies your W-7 after we've filed a complete, accurate application using the information you provided, we'll refund your full $399 fee.

FAQ

Who qualifies for an ITIN?

An ITIN is only for people who aren't eligible for a Social Security Number. Use this board to confirm you're in the right place before applying.

✓ Who qualifies
  • Non-US residents with a foreign tax home and a US tax filing reason.
  • Foreign owners of a US LLC who must file Form 5472 and Form 1120.
  • Non-residents with US-sourced income filing Form 1040-NR.
  • Foreign investors holding US stocks, ETFs, or real estate.
  • Applicants claiming US tax treaty benefits to reduce withholding.
  • Non-residents opening a US bank or brokerage account where an ITIN is required.
  • Foreign spouses or dependents claimed for a specific tax benefit on an attached US federal return.

Nationality and country of residence are not disqualifying factors. No country-based bans exist.

✕ Who doesn't qualify
  1. U.S. Citizens. Exclusively for non-citizens. Any U.S. citizen must use an SSN regardless of where they live, no exceptions.
  2. Anyone eligible for an SSN. If you qualify for an SSN (work visa holders, green card holders, anyone with U.S. work authorization), you must use that instead. SSN eligibility is automatic ITIN disqualification.
  3. People who already have an SSN. Once you've ever been issued an SSN, it's yours permanently, even if your work authorization expires. You cannot switch to or add an ITIN.
  4. Spouses/dependents without a U.S. tax purpose (post-2017). Foreign spouses and dependents are ineligible unless they're being claimed for a specific tax benefit on an attached U.S. federal return. "I want an ID number" is not sufficient.
  5. Anyone without a federal tax filing reason. No U.S. income, no filing obligation, no claimable tax benefit means denied. ITINs cannot be issued for banking, business formation, or e-commerce alone.
  6. Anyone who can't verify identity and foreign status. Valid original documents (usually a passport) are required. Expired, missing, or unaccepted documents result in denial until corrected.

More questions.

No. Because Velotax works with an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA), your identity is verified over secure video. Your passport stays with you at all times.

We submit your W-7 package to the IRS within 48 hours of your video call. From the IRS receiving it, typical turnaround is 7–11 weeks. During peak tax season (mid-January through April) the IRS can take up to 16 weeks. A Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) package like ours is processed ahead of self-filed packages because identity is already verified, but the IRS workload still controls the final timeline. Anyone promising "7–21 days" is misrepresenting IRS processing times.

We work with applicants from over 100 countries. As long as you hold a valid unexpired passport and have a qualifying US tax filing reason, we can almost always file for you. Nationality and country of residence are not disqualifying factors.

Everything: the W-7 preparation, certified identity verification, IRS submission, a 15-minute video call with your agent, your Velotax dashboard, and delivery of your ITIN. No hidden extras.

Yes. If the IRS denies your W-7 after we've filed a complete, accurate application using the information and documents you provided, we refund your full $399 fee. The guarantee does not cover denials caused by incorrect, incomplete, or fraudulent information submitted by the applicant, or delays on the IRS side.

You'll move straight into your Velotax dashboard to enter your personal details, verify your identity with our CAA, and book your 15-minute agent call. Every step is saved as you go.
