There are many reasons why Chinese people apply for ITIN. One of them is that they have self-employment income and need to pay taxes. Some CAAs on Fiverr use this method to handle ITIN for customers. It is a pity that some CAAs are unreliable, forget to pay taxes to customers, and do not remind customers, causing customers to owe taxes without knowing it. The following netizen encountered such troubles, as shown in the figure:
Applying for an ITIN in this way, the Internal Revenue Service will generally send you a letter within two months of issuing the ITIN, telling you that you owe taxes, and you can pay taxes by phone, mailing a check, or online. Because some netizens used the address provided by CAA when applying for ITIN, if they are irresponsible like the CAA above, they do not forward the letter to the customer after receiving it, or forget about it at all, it will cause the ITIN holder to have bad tax records. Therefore, it is recommended that you register for an account with the IRS and check your tax status.

You can register by email + password, or you can log in through third-party platforms: Facebook, Google, Apple, linkedin. Here, the big VPS players use email + password for demonstration.
Next is a description, continue directly. Then verify your email address, and a verification code will be sent to the email address you provided. It can be verified through the verification code, or you can directly click the verification link, depending on personal preference.
Then choose a verification method when logging in, generally use SMS verification, as shown in the figure:
Google Voice can be used, and there is no problem in the actual test.
enter confirmation code:
In the next page, it is recommended to create a recovery code to prevent the phone number from being unable to log in after it expires or is lost, as shown in the figure:
Save it and put it in a safe place.
Then you need to verify your identity. There are two options:
- Self-Service
- Video Chat Agent
Generally, the first method is selected. If the first verification fails, video chat verification is required, which is the second method. We US cloud residents can only choose Passport.
In the following page, you need to modify the type of verification certificate. The certificate we use for verification is Passport, and the default is Driver’s License. Don’t make a mistake. 
Due to the need to upload documents and face recognition, the next verification process will be transferred to the mobile phone. You need to provide an American mobile phone number to receive the text message of the verification link. You can use Google Voice
Open the link on your mobile phone (this link has a time limit, please operate as soon as possible), and you will see the following interface:
Check the email address in the picture, if it is correct, click “YES” to go to the next step, scan the passport and upload it, and then face recognition. If the self-service verification is unsuccessful , it will automatically transfer to manual verification. You need to enter the US address and SSN (replaced by ITIN), and the credit record will be pulled by a soft PULL.
If the credit record can be pulled, it will enter manual verification, as shown in the figure:
Have your passport ready for verification. After the video is connected, just show the passport to the customer service. Sometimes you may need to provide proof of address, you can use a US bank statement. Because of the credit records of major VPS players, it is easy to pass the verification.
Next, return to the IRS website, log in to the account we just registered, or this link You online Account , Sign in to your Online Account, and select “Sign in with ID.me”, as shown in the figure:
Great, the big VPS players don’t owe taxes.
