Canadian snowbird? Selling U.S. property? Running a U.S. LLC? If you have any U.S. tax obligation, the IRS requires a personal tax ID called an ITIN — and you can't file a U.S. return, claim your FIRPTA refund, or access treaty benefits without one. Nolly's IRS-Certified Acceptance Agents handle your complete ITIN application from Canada, fully remotely. No IRS offices. No mailing your passport.
Nolly (U.S. Tax Recovery Inc.) is a private tax support and document preparation service. We are not affiliated with the IRS or any government agency.
As a Canadian, you can spend much of your year in the United States, own U.S. property, earn U.S. income, and run a U.S. business — but the moment any of those activities creates a U.S. tax obligation, the IRS requires a personal tax identification number. Without a U.S. Social Security Number — which Canadians do not qualify for unless they have worked in the U.S. — an ITIN is the only tax ID the IRS accepts.
Without an ITIN, you cannot file a U.S. tax return, claim a FIRPTA withholding refund when selling U.S. real estate, access Canada–U.S. Tax Treaty benefits, or satisfy the IRS's Substantial Presence Test filing requirements.
You likely need a U.S. ITIN if you are a Canadian who:
Over one million Canadians spend their winters in U.S. sunbelt states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas. What many don't realize is that simply spending time in the United States can — under certain conditions — make the IRS consider you a U.S. tax resident, regardless of your Canadian citizenship.
Additionally, if you own a U.S. vacation home, rent it out for more than 15 days per year, or sell U.S. real estate, you will have specific IRS filing requirements that all require an ITIN. Getting your ITIN in place before you need it saves you from delays at the worst possible moments — like when a property sale is closing.

When a Canadian sells U.S. real estate, the IRS automatically withholds 15% of the gross sale price under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA). This withholding is not a final tax — it is a prepayment. To recover the portion you are not actually owed, you must file a U.S. tax return and claim the credit using IRS Form 8288-A Copy B.
Apply for your ITIN as early as possible — before your property sale closes. Processing takes 7–12 weeks and delays in getting your ITIN mean delays in getting your refund.
Apply for My ITIN Before My Sale Closes →You do not need U.S. citizenship, a U.S. green card, or a U.S. visa. The only requirement is a valid U.S. federal tax obligation.

Start My ITIN Application →The most common questions from Canadian applicants about getting a U.S. ITIN number, clearly answered.
Snowbirds, property owners, and business owners — in their own words.
"My husband and I spend our winters in Florida and had been meaning to get our ITINs for years. We finally used Nolly after a friend recommended them and we wished we'd done it sooner. The process was completely remote — they told us exactly what to provide, prepared everything, and kept us updated the whole way through. No mailing our passports to the IRS, no trips to a consulate. Highly recommend to any Canadian snowbird."
"I was selling my Arizona condo and didn't realize I needed an ITIN to recover my FIRPTA withholding until my lawyer flagged it two months before closing. Nolly moved quickly, got my application in, and it came through in time. Their team was professional and responsive from day one. The fee paid for itself many times over given the refund I was able to claim."
"I run an e-commerce business through a U.S. LLC and needed an ITIN for my annual filings. Nolly handled the whole thing without me needing to do anything complicated. Fast, accurate, and they answered every question I had promptly. Will be using them again."
