ITIN LOANS

 An ITIN can be issued to a U.S. resident alien or non-resident alien that files a tax return and is not eligible for a Social Security Number. An ITIN can also be issued to dependents and/or spouses of a U.S. citizen or resident alien.

However, a key distinction to note is that an ITIN isn’t just for resident and non-resident aliens. ITINs are issued to anyone who files a U.S. tax return and has payment responsibilities, regardless of immigration status. The difference in the case of an ITIN loan, the number acts as a form of identification that can be used if a Social Security Number is not an option.
