Form W-7: How to fill to get ITIN in Egypt

If you are living in Egypt and earning income from the United States — whether through remote work, investment, property ownership, or other financial activities — you may be required to file U.S. taxes. But if you’re not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN), you’ll need to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) using Form W-7.

At Precision Accounting Intl, we help individuals and businesses in Egypt complete the Form W-7 process quickly, securely, and without sending their original passport to the U.S. Our goal is to make U.S. tax compliance simple, transparent, and fully IRS-compliant for international taxpayers.

What Is Form W-7 and Why It Matters

Form W-7 is an IRS document used to apply for an ITIN, a tax processing number for individuals who aren’t eligible for a Social Security Number but still need to file U.S. tax returns or report income to the IRS.

An ITIN allows you to:

• File U.S. federal tax returns
• Claim tax treaty benefits
• Receive U.S. tax refunds
• Open and maintain U.S. bank accounts
• Receive payments from U.S. companies or platforms

To learn more about what an ITIN is and why it’s required, read our detailed guide: What Is ITIN Service in Egypt.

Who Should File Form W-7?

You should submit Form W-7 if you are:

• A non-U.S. resident required to file a U.S. tax return
• A dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen or resident alien
• A foreign investor, business owner, or freelancer earning U.S.-sourced income
• A student, researcher, or academic receiving stipends or grants from the U.S.

Required Documents for Form W-7

When completing Form W-7, the IRS requires proof of both your identity and foreign status. The following documents are typically accepted:

• Valid passport (the only stand-alone document)
• Or a combination of:
  • National ID card
  • Birth certificate
  • U.S. visa
  • Foreign driver’s license
  • Other government-issued documents

All documents must be original or certified copies issued by the relevant government authority. At Precision Accounting Intl, we handle document verification for you, ensuring that your ITIN application meets IRS verification standards to prevent rejections or delays.

Processing Time for Form W-7

Once submitted, Form W-7 applications generally take between 6 to 12 weeks for the IRS to process. However, during the U.S. tax season (January through April), it may take longer.
