I have to get my taxes done asap for my financial aid and I am going to apply for a tax id number for Addyson so I can do that. Now, there are two forms on the IRS website. One says that it is a form for personal tax id number for pending adoptions, but then there is another one that says for children who are not US citizens...
Addyson came home on the IR-4 Visa because dh didn't visit with me, if that changes anything. Anyone know which form I should use???
Here is the information:
Parents in the process of a domestic U. S. adoption who do not have and/or are unable to obtain the child's Social Security Number (SSN) should request an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN) in order to claim the child as a dependent and (if eligible) to claim the child care credit. [URL="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7a.pdf"]Form W-7A[/URL] (PDF), Application for Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions, is used by qualifying taxpayers to obtain an ATIN. To get Form W-7A, you may go to any IRS walk-in site or call 1-800-829-3676. You may also download the form [URL="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7a.pdf"]here [/URL]in Adobe PDF format. For more information about the ATIN, refer to the [URL="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7a.pdf"]Form W-7A[/URL] (PDF), instructions.
If the child is not a U. S. citizen or resident, use [URL="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf"]Form W-7[/URL] (PDF), Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to obtain an ITIN. For more information, refer to [URL="http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96287,00.html"]Individual Taxpayer Identification Number[/URL].
TIA everyone!:thanks:
I have to add in here that if I WERE president we wouldn't be having this conversation because Guat members wouldn't have to pay taxes (not even file them!) Oh yeah!!
