ITIN Application

UNCLE SAM INC. is proud to be the first tax professionals in South Korea to be registered as an official Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), pursuant to a written agreement with the IRS. As a CAA, we are authorized to facilitate the ITIN application process by reviewing the necessary documents, authenticating the client's identity, forwarding the completed forms to the IRS, and communicating with the IRS on behalf of the client regarding their application.

You are planning on filing a U.S. federal tax return as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) with your spouse who is not a U.S. citizen or green card holder.
You would like to claim tax credits such as the child tax credit and other dependent credit by claiming a dependent who does not have an SSN and is ineligible for one.
You previously had an ITIN and it has expired.
You would like to claim a tax treaty benefit or apply for a scholarship.
