At Cao & Associates, CPA, we are proud to be an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA). That means we are authorized by the IRS to help foreign individuals apply for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) — without sending your original passport to the IRS.
What Is a Certified Acceptance Agent?
A Certified Acceptance Agent is a professional authorized by the IRS to:
-
Help individuals apply for an ITIN (Form W-7)
-
Review and verify original ID documents (like your passport)
-
Submit ITIN applications directly to the IRS on your behalf
This makes the process faster, safer, and easier for you — especially if you're living outside the U.S. or selling U.S. property.
Who Needs an ITIN?
You need an ITIN if you are a non-U.S. citizen and:
-
You sold U.S. property and need to file a tax return
-
You are affected by FIRPTA withholding and want to claim a refund
-
You receive rental income from U.S. property
-
You need to file a U.S. tax return but are not eligible for a Social Security number
