The Internal Revenue Service is taking steps to improve the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) Acceptance Agent Program. These improvement steps are focused on ensuring that only individuals with a clear tax administration purpose receive an ITIN and that all Forms W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, are processed efficiently and effectively. During this process, they review supporting and supplemental documentation and forward applicable documents, certificates of accuracy and completed Forms W-7 to the IRS for processing.
