Expert Cross-Border Support for Non-Residents
For non-U.S. residents, it is necessary to have a U.S. Tax Identification Number if they are earning income via U.S. sources i.e. gambling winnings or rental income. This is the only way a non-U.S. can file the appropriate tax returns required to avoid tax lien, penalties, and legal government actions.
Expert U.S. Tax Compliance for Non-Residents
Our experts help to ensure that your tax filings are timely, accurate, and aligned with current IRS (Internal Revenue Service) policies. At IC Tax & Accounting Services, we design complex U.S. tax requirements (ITIN applications, gambling income reporting, and IRS compliances) for non-U.S. residents so they can understand and follow the rules set by higher authorities.
U.S. Tax Identification Number (ITIN) Applications
If you are a non-U.S. resident, make sure that you are fulfilling the tax obligations set by the U.S. government. You must apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), if you are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN).
You may be thinking, “Why is an ITIN required?” Here is why:
- An ITIN is required to file a U.S. tax return (including Form 1040-NR).
- To claim tax treaty benefits (designed for non-U.S. residents)
- Recover withholding taxes (gambling or FIRPTA withholding)
- ITIN is required to report U.S.-source income.
Our ITIN Services Include:
Our professionals provide complete support to ensure your gambling income is accurately reported and optimized according to the U.S. IRS system’s current policies.
- We prepare and file Form 1040-NR for our clients.
- Reporting of U.S. gambling winnings
- Our team claims refunds of excess withholding taxes.
- We apply for treaty benefits where available.
- We ensure compliance with IRS documentation requirements.
Our mission is to help you recover overpaid taxes while remaining fully compliant with the U.S. tax laws.
Why Proper Filing Matters?
Failure to properly report U.S.-source income or obtain an ITIN can result in:
- Loss of refunds
- IRS penalties and delays
- Inability to claim treaty benefits
- Ongoing compliance risks
Our professionals file your taxes accurately and on time to ensure that you get maximum benefits.
