We’re excited to announce that US Tax Consultants is now an IRS-authorized Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) in Spain! This means we can help expats and non-U.S. citizens obtain their Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) quickly, securely, and without the hassle of mailing original documents to the IRS.

What is a Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA)?

A CAA is authorized by the IRS to assist individuals who need an ITIN but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. Unlike regular Acceptance Agents, CAAs can verify and certify your identity documents in-house, so you don’t have to send your passport or birth certificate to the IRS. This makes the process safer, faster, and more convenient for expats living abroad.

Why Expats in Spain Need an ITIN

If you’re an American living in Spain or a non-U.S. citizen with U.S. tax obligations, you may need an ITIN to:

• File U.S. tax returns.
• Claim tax treaty benefits.
• Receive refunds or report U.S.-source income. Without an ITIN, you cannot properly meet your U.S. tax obligations, which can lead to delays or penalties.

Clearing Up Confusion About CAAs

“I can only use a CAA if I live in the U.S.” — Not true. Many CAAs work with clients worldwide via secure video calls.

“A CAA can get me an ITIN faster.” — They can reduce delays by avoiding mistakes, but can’t bypass IRS processing times.

“Any tax preparer is a CAA.” — Only those with IRS authorization and training can call themselves CAAs.

Benefits of Working with a CAA

No Mailing Originals – Keep your passport safe; we handle certification.
Faster Processing – Properly prepared applications are processed in 4–6 weeks, compared to 10–12 weeks for standard applications.
Accuracy – We ensure your W-7 application is complete and error-free, reducing rejections.
