Itin!!
 

So I heard that even though you're undocumented, you could apply for ITIN aka the tax identification number. I looked the form up but I was really confused on how to fill it out. There are a couple reasons why I should apply (just how the form asks) but I really don't know which one applies to me.

Anyone out there who happened to have an ITIN? Help me please. Thanksss!

I applied for it twice independently (i think, I know it was definitely once), and it got rejected. So with the help of a tax preparer, I was attached as a dependant on my mom's taxes, as a dependent you need a "identifying number" so some weeks later they sent the ITIN.

Thats the easiest way to get one

Oh okay, thank you so much for the info.

Yes it is possible and legal to apply for/recieve an ITIN even if you are undocumented.
