ITIN Application (Form W-7) in Baltimore, OH
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is required to file U.S. taxes if you don't qualify for a Social Security number. Most Baltimore ITIN applicants are non-resident aliens, resident aliens without SSN eligibility, dependents of U.S. citizens, or spouses on certain visa categories. The application requires Form W-7 plus a tax return — and the documentation requirements are strict. We've processed hundreds of ITIN applications for the Columbus immigrant community.

In Central Ohio, taxpayers most often come to us for ITIN preparation, mixed-status returns, and prior-year cleanup — the kind of work that requires careful identity-document review. For Baltimore taxpayers, we review every W-2, 1099, ITIN letter, and dependent ID against the return before anything is e-filed or mailed.
a smaller-town demographic with growing immigrant families who have moved out from Columbus for school district choices and housing — and Baltimore, with a population near 3,050, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
easy state-route access into Columbus — typically a single-highway drive with no transfers needed. From Baltimore (ZIP 43105), the trip is roughly 25 miles each way.

Do I need to send my original passport to the IRS?+
Not if you use an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent — which we are. We verify your original passport in our office and submit certified copies. This means you keep your passport and don't risk losing it in IRS mail processing for 11+ weeks.
Can I get an ITIN without filing a tax return?+
In most cases, no — Form W-7 must be filed with a tax return. There are limited exceptions (treaty benefit claims, certain mortgage applications, third-party reporting requirements), but the standard pathway is application + return submitted together.
How long does the IRS take to issue an ITIN?+
Current IRS processing time is 7–11 weeks during normal periods, and can stretch to 14+ weeks during tax season peak (January–April). Your tax return is processed simultaneously, so any refund is issued after ITIN approval.
How far is your office from Baltimore?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 25 miles from Baltimore — typically a 35-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Baltimore residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Liberty Union-Thurston Local Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
