Warrener Stewart joins the IRS Acceptance Agent Program
Warrener Stewart’s head of Tax, Damian Talbot, has recently become an Authorized Acceptance Agent licensed by the American tax authority, the IRS, to help non-residents apply for their individual tax numbers. The US tax system can be complicated. Anyone who is not an American citizen, but is still required to file US tax returns as an ‘alien’, must have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Damian, who is also an EA (Enrolled Agent), decided to undertake the necessary additional training to become an Acceptance Agent to be able to offer clients a more extensive US Tax Service.
Commenting on his latest qualification he said; “Warrener Stewart has a number of clients whose personal and business tax affairs come under either the UK or US tax systems. As an Enrolled Agent I was able to represent taxpayers but only if they already had their ITIN. Now we can offer a complete service for individuals who are new to filing US tax returns.”
