• Nonresident aliens

  Box a is for a nonresident alien who needs an ITIN to claim a tax treaty benefit. Box b is for a nonresident alien filing a U.S. federal tax return.

• Resident aliens without an SSN

  Box c is for a U.S. resident alien, based on days present in the United States, who files a U.S. federal tax return.

• Spouses and dependents

  Boxes d and e cover a dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen or resident alien, and box g a dependent or spouse of a nonresident alien with a U.S. visa. The instructions say spouses and dependents qualify only when claimed for an allowable tax benefit or filing their own return.

• Students, professors and researchers

  Box f is for a nonresident alien student, professor or researcher who files a U.S. federal tax return or claims an exception.

• People renewing an ITIN

  The application type box has a choice to renew an ITIN already assigned. The instructions say an ITIN not used on a federal return for the last 3 consecutive tax years expires.

• Applicants who want notices in Spanish

  The English instructions say Form W-7(SP) is the way to receive ITIN notices and correspondence in Spanish instead of English.

The applicant fills it out and signs it, or a delegate signs: the form lists a parent, a power of attorney or a legal guardian. An acceptance agent fills in the section reserved for agents. The application goes to the IRS.
