What is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)?
The ITIN is a nine-digit number starting with 9 that is used by individuals who do not have a Social Security Number to tile an income tax return. It is an identification number for income tax purposes, and for those purposes only.

The IRS has more information on ITIN's which can be found at the IRS Taxpayer Advocate's Website .
