An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, type of Tax ID or Taxpayer ID) will serve as your identification number for filing your tax returns. If you do not qualify for an SSN, you will need to apply for an ITIN. You can use your ITIN to open U.S. bank account (both personal and business checking accounts) without an SSN, file tax return and pay taxes, open merchant accounts like Paypal or Stripe, open Amazon FBA account, fulfill tax withholding requirements, provide it to your employer to get a job, apply for a mortgage loan, apply for apartment rental, finance a car, apply to get a credit card, and more.
