The Individual Tax Identification Number, or ITIN, allows taxpayers who don't have a Social Security Number (SSN) to file income tax returns. Unlike other forms of ID, ITINs only have one purpose—tax filing and reporting. It is not TurboTax who requires the number. The IRS will not accept a tax return via e-file without one of those two identification numbers. @sanjo1984
