I’m a nonresident freelancer working with U.S. clients, and they’re asking for my ITIN for tax reporting. I need it as soon as possible to avoid delays in payment. What’s the fastest way to get an ITIN, and what should I avoid?

To obtain an ITIN quickly, complete IRS Form W-7 (Application for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). Submit it by mail, at an IRS office, or through an IRS-approved Acceptance Agent (CAA) who can expedite the process. Avoid filing a return with placeholders like all zeros—this will be rejected.
