Hi,
I need to file my taxes mfj and my spouse is still in the Philippines. I need to get her an ITIN. We have been looking into getting a copy of her passport when I visit next month so I can bring it back and send the IRS the tax return and w7 together.
But I have been looking into acceptance agents and see that there is one in angeles city.
Would it be easier to just go with her to Angeles city with a completed w7 and other required documentation and get this over with there?
What is the cost of using the acceptance agent?
Does it only take one day and how do you schedule it?
Do you need to bring your federal tax return and file that at the same time, or is the acceptance agent only going to process the w7 by itself and give the itin number immediately so I can use it for the tax return on my own time?
What is all the documentation we would need to take to the acceptance agent?
