Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here are some choices:

 

The easiest way is to use TurboTax (if you are allowed to file a 1040) to create the return, then take it to a Taxpayer Assistance Center with a W-7. The W-7 applies for the ITIN, which is normally filed with your 1040.

 

If you can show a person your documentation (passport, etc.) then you avoid having to mail your documents and not having them for some weeks or months.

 

This can also be done by visiting a CAA (Certifying Acceptance Agent) who can "witness" your documents. Note that some CAAs may want to do your tax return as well as accept your W-7 - you will have to ask. Yes, some H&R Block locations have a CAA, but you have to call and ask.

Please see this TurboTax page on the W-7.
