ITIN Assistance

An ITIN process that is explained, not rushed.

An ITIN — Individual Taxpayer Identification Number — is a number the IRS issues so a person can meet federal tax filing and reporting requirements. That is all it is. It is not immigration status, it is not work authorization, and it does not create Social Security eligibility.

Working with an IRS Acceptance Agent

An Acceptance Agent is authorized by the IRS to assist applicants in preparing and submitting Form W-7 and its supporting documentation. Luisa Sanchez Accounting & Tax Services is currently listed in the IRS Acceptance Agent directory. The IRS reviews and decides every application — no preparer, including this firm, can guarantee that an ITIN will be issued.

The process

What happens, in order.

01

Review your situation

We confirm whether an ITIN applies, whether it's a new application or renewal, and who on the return needs one.

02

Prepare Form W-7 and the return

Most ITIN applications are submitted together with a federal tax return. We prepare both so they travel to the IRS as one complete package.

03

Handle documentation the IRS way

Identity and foreign status documentation follows current IRS requirements for your application type. We explain exactly what is needed and how it will be handled before anything is sent.

04

Track and communicate

You receive status updates in English or Spanish, and we tell you what to expect from the IRS at each stage.

How documents are handled

Never send passports, identity documents, Social Security numbers, tax returns, or banking details through a website form or email. The firm confirms the correct secure method for your application type, and a client portal with encrypted upload is being prepared.

What this page does not do

This page is general tax education. It is not immigration or legal advice, it does not promise that original documents can be retained, and it does not guarantee ITIN approval or a processing timeline. Immigration questions belong with a licensed attorney or accredited representative.
