What is Form W-7 and Who Needs It?

  • Form W-7 is the IRS application form for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
  • Brazilian residents who earn US-source income, own US LLCs, or need to file US tax returns use Form W-7.
  • Cannot be e-filed — W-7 must be submitted by mail or through a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA).
  • CAA submission is safest — A CAA certifies your documents, so you never mail your original Brazilian passport to the IRS.
  • Reason code matters — Form W-7 has multiple reason codes (a through h). Choosing the wrong one causes rejection.
⚠️ No US–Brazil Tax Treaty: Brazil has no income tax treaty with the United States. Your ITIN is still required for IRS compliance and W-8BEN filings, but standard US withholding rates apply.

⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection

Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.

How to Complete Form W-7 as a Brazilian Resident

Form W-7 has several sections that Brazilian applicants must complete accurately. The most critical is Reason for Applying (Box a–h). Most Brazilian applicants use reason code (h) — Other (for US LLC compliance) or (f) — Nonresident alien filing a US tax return. Choosing the wrong code causes automatic rejection.

ITIN Plus prepares your W-7 form on your behalf as part of the $99 service. We review your specific situation, choose the correct reason code, complete the form accurately, attach your certified passport documentation, and submit directly to the IRS. You receive a copy of the completed form for your records.
