Why Do I Need an ITIN Number? | Baron Payroll

As a payroll company, one question we get all the time is, “What is an ITIN, and why do you need one?”.

I know your time is valuable, so here's the short answer:

ITINs are issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN). And you need one so that you can work on-the-books. 

The Importance of ITINs for Workers

Tax Compliance: The most significant reason for obtaining an ITIN is to comply with U.S. tax laws. It allows individuals who aren't eligible for an SSN to file their taxes and fulfill their tax obligations, ensuring they remain in good standing with the IRS.

Financial Inclusivity: At Baron, we offer paycards, which are a pathway to more secure financial management.

Employment Opportunities: For workers, having an ITIN can broaden employment opportunities. Employers like Baron Payroll can legally include ITIN holders in their payroll, ensuring these workers receive fair wages and benefits.

The Benefits for Employers

Legal Compliance: Employing ITIN workers and including them in payroll systems helps businesses stay compliant with tax laws and labor regulations.

Diverse Workforce: Hiring ITIN workers contributes to a diverse and inclusive workforce, bringing in a range of skills and perspectives beneficial to any business.

Streamlined Payroll Management: With services like Baron Payroll's ITIN service, employers can easily integrate ITIN workers into their payroll systems, ensuring efficient and compliant payroll processing.
