ITIN applications take time

by | Jan 24, 2013 | Articles

ITIN

Individuals doing business with the United States requiring an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) should be aware that it can be several months before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will respond to their application.

It is therefore important to ensure that the application Form W-7 is correctly prepared because the IRS will reject an incorrectly prepared application for the smallest discrepancy.

This is particularly with respect to ITINs which are being applied for in order to obtain a treaty benefit.

Once an application has been sent to the IRS one cannot re-apply due to non-response by the IRS.

The ITIN program is currently undergoing change and documentation requirements vary depending on the purpose of the application for an ITIN.

It is therefore advisable to seek professional assistance with the application.

I'm thankful for finding NZ US Tax Specialists because Gina is one of the few people I know with a working knowledge of the intersection of U.S. and NZ tax policies. Our tax return was accurately completed on time and without any issues. I'm planning to use their services for years to come.

Gina and the folks at NZ US Tax Specialists were very quick to answer a question I had on the NZ tax treatment of US Military pensions, a fairly obscure area of tax law. They're great to work with.

NZ US Tax Specialists has been a lifesaver with regards to a family member’s move from the US to NZ. Gina and her team have been there to help us understand the complexities of dual tax status and have greatly assisted in getting everything filed on time. While taxes will never be fun, working with NZ US Tax Specialists has brought our stress levels down considerably.

Gina helped us prepare our US tax returns after we moved to NZ during a very busy time. We had no idea what was required as US citizens living abroad, but Gina was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. The work was affordable and well done. We had a great experience and hope to use NZ US Tax Specialists again.

If you're a US expat and need to file a US tax return, then look no further! Gina and her team at NZ US Tax Specialists does outstanding, professional work. I had to amend my US tax return, as I didn't know I had to file a form. Gina got that done, but they also found I'd made an error, and they fixed that for me as well, keeping me in good standing with the IRS. I'm definitely returning next year to get their assistance again.

I have been working with Gina since 2014, when I needed US Tax advice, being both a New Zealand and United States citizen. Over the eight years that we have been working together, I have found Gina to be extremely knowledgeable about the US tax system and the New Zealand IRD. She is quickly able to provide definitive answers to my US tax questions, via her extensive contacts in the US tax department.Gina is always prompt in responding to my email and phone conversation questions and her professionalism has inspired my confidence in her many times over.She has guided me through my annual tax return filing with integrity and honesty and I fully trust her to get the job done well each year.
