Why Turkish Residents Need a US ITIN
Turkey has a large and fast-growing community of entrepreneurs running US companies, selling on Amazon, and building global digital businesses. Turkish nationals forming US LLCs or receiving US income need an ITIN to comply with IRS requirements.
Common reasons Turkish residents apply for a US ITIN:
- US LLC or Wyoming/Delaware company — mandatory for Form 5472 / 1120 filing
- Amazon FBA — tax ID required for US marketplace
- E-commerce and dropshipping — US Stripe or payment accounts
- EIN + ITIN combination — needed for Mercury Bank, Relay, or Wise
- Tech consulting or software sales to US companies
- Reduction of Google / YouTube withholding tax
Important: Several Turkish ITIN service providers are not registered IRS Certified Acceptance Agents. IRS applications submitted by unregistered services have been rejected with CP567 notices explicitly stating the submitter lacked CAA status. ITIN Plus IS a registered IRS CAA — your application will not face this risk.
⚠️ Critical: Use an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA)
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certified Acceptance Agents. When a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS may reject it — issuing a CP567 notice that explicitly states the submitter lacked CAA authorization. This can cost you months of delays and lost fees.
ITIN Plus is a registered IRS Certified Acceptance Agent. We submit your application directly to the IRS with certified document authentication. Your application is processed correctly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions — ITIN for Turkey Residents
Can a Turkish citizen get a US ITIN without going to the US?
Yes. ITIN Plus is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA). We handle everything remotely — no US embassy or consulate visit required.
How long does it take from Turkey?
8–14 weeks from submission. CAA applications are processed faster than self-filed W-7 applications.
Why are some Turkish ITIN applications rejected by the IRS?
IRS rejection notices (CP567) have cited unregistered submitters. Services that are not official CAAs cannot legally authenticate identity documents. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — your application is submitted correctly from the start.
What documents does a Turkish citizen need?
A valid Turkish passport is the primary document. For LLC applications, your EIN letter is also needed. We provide a full checklist.
What does ITIN Plus charge?
$99 flat fee. No hidden fees. No annual renewals.
What is the Turkey-US tax situation?
Turkey does not have a comprehensive income tax treaty with the US. This means standard IRS withholding rates apply unless you can document non-US source income. An ITIN is needed to file any US return or claim deductions.
