I am a non-resident alien and I own an LLC. I'm trying to get my ITIN to complete my tax returns because I need to file for taxes on my US-sourced income.
I emailed all the documents along with a notarized copy of my passport and the IRS rejected it. They say that I either send my actual passport or send a copy of my passport that has been certified by the issuing body of the passport. I've been to the passport office in my country several times and they say that they do not give any document like that, and I should get a copy that has been notarized by the court which is what I did the first time.
I've been unable to reach the IRS by phone because the lines are always busy and I am out of ideas on how I can actually get my ITIN. I travel frequently so I cannot send my physical passport to the IRS.
Has anyone run into this problem before or any ideas on what I can do?
