How to Apply for an ITIN with Texas Tax Heroes™

If you’re not eligible for a Social Security Number but need to file taxes in the United States, you may need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). At Texas Tax Heroes™, we help individuals apply for and renew ITINs quickly and securely.

Here's everything you need to know about how we simplify the ITIN process.


✅ What is an ITIN?

An ITIN is a 9-digit tax processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who are required to file a tax return but are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN). ITINs are used solely for tax reporting purposes and do not authorize work or provide Social Security benefits.
