I’m an international student studying in the U.S. on a scholarship. I don’t have a job, but part of my scholarship is taxable. Can I apply for an ITIN to report this income, even without a job?

Yes, international students with taxable scholarship income can apply for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). You’ll need to complete Form W-7, attach your federal tax return, and submit supporting documents (e.g., passport) to the IRS. This ensures compliance with U.S. tax laws.
Need ITIN?
Get one with the assistance of an IRS CAA.
