Form W-7 is how you apply for an IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or renew one. If you fill in W-7s for several family members or clients and keep retyping the same details, upload a completed copy and a blank one. You review each answer, then preview the PDF.
Tested with the irs.gov edition dated Rev. 12-2024
irs.gov says to use Form W-7 to apply for an IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), and that you can also use it to renew an ITIN that is expiring or has already expired. An ITIN is a 9-digit number issued by the IRS to individuals who are required for U.S. federal tax purposes to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but do not have and are not eligible to get a Social Security number. RepeatForm does not tell you whether you qualify.
The W-7 instructions describe the supporting documents and, for most applications, a federal tax return the form is attached to. They also say that if you have an SSN application pending, you do not file Form W-7. The reason you check on the form determines what must go with it. Read the instructions for the box you check; this page does not choose it for you.
The instructions say you can apply by mail, through an IRS-authorized acceptance agent, or in person at designated IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers. They say to allow 7 weeks for the IRS to tell you the status (9 to 11 weeks during peak periods, January 15 through April 30, or from overseas).
An acceptance agent or preparer often fills in the same agent details and, for a family, the same household address for each W-7. Upload a W-7 you completed and a blank one. RepeatForm carries across the answers that match in both copies, you review them, then you preview the PDF before you export. An ITIN renewal for the same person next time works the same way.
The signature and date on Form W-7 are lines, not fields RepeatForm can fill. They stay blank for you to complete by hand.
The IRS renames fields between editions, so carry-over is partial. Check every field after a new edition.
An ITIN application is usually submitted with a federal tax return, such as the 1040.
