ITIN application for spouse and child

Post by sajc »

Hi

I am on TN visa and my spouse and kid are Canadian citizens. We live on the Canadian side. I applied for ITIN for both them by choosing option (a) Non resident alien required to get ITIN for tax treaty.

It got rejected as I had not entered the exception and treaty number. Can anyone guide me on how to apply for ITIN for my spouse and kid please. What option to choose and what exception/treaty if applicable.

Thank you
Saj

You should have used G - dependant and spouse of a US non-resident (you) with a US visa (TN).
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Thank you Nelsona. On G , in instructions it says to submit "your" visa copy. So I assumed they would need my spouse visa which she does not have. Thank you I will submit it with G and copy of my Visa. Thank you again. Much appreciated.
