ITIN vs SSN: What Immigrants Need to Know About Filing Taxes

0

If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN), you may file taxes using an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).

Both allow you to:

  • File tax returns

  • Pay taxes legally

  • Claim certain credits (if eligible)

Filing taxes helps:

  • Show proof of income

  • Support immigration applications

  • Qualify for loans

  • Apply for FAFSA

Even if you earned little income, filing can protect your future.

 

Do not ignore taxes out of fear.
Get information. Then act correctly.
