About ITEN Number

Hi, I would like to start working on getting an ITEN number now and have a few questions.
I am currently a student F-1 and have been here for 3 years. I am currently a student F-1 and have been here for 3 years. I have done some research and it seems that students can get an ITEN number, but how difficult is it to get one? My girlfriend says that it is better to work with a tax accountant/accounter? She thinks it's not as easy as I think it is. I am currently a student, so I am living on the edge of my seat... So I asked the question considering the cost and other aspects.

If anyone is a tax attorney or knows anything about this, please contact me.

Explains regarding ITIN numbers.

Explains why ITIN numbers are allowed.

An ITIN number is not a substitute for a Social Security number.
In other words, some people think that they cannot work on an F visa, but if they have an ITIN number, they can work
but even if they have an ITIN number, they cannot work with it because
basically, a Social Security number and an ITIN number are different.
You can't work with it.

If the company is doing W-2 processing, they will know the
difference between the Social Security number and the ITIN number, so you cannot （ get a job ） with it.

F-1 visa students cannot work
until their employment status is approved by OPT, so they cannot work and file income tax returns.

Who can get an ITIN number ？
How to get an ITIN ？

Please refer to the explanation in these two points.
Some of you who work in the US on a visa do not have Social Security
numbers authorized for your wives and children.
In order to file a tax return as a family member, you are allowed to include your children and wife on your return.
To do so, your wife or children are permitted to obtain an ITIN number by submitting an IRS form （ 1040 ） for your husband's tax return
with the form
W-7, requesting an ITIN number. This is only for the wife or children of a person who is working in the U.S. on a work visa
.

If she is a US or Permanent Resident, she cannot get a Social Security Number unless she gets married and changes her status from
F Visa to Permanent Resident, and
of course, even if she gets an ITIN number, she cannot work with it. You must understand
that even if you get an ITIN number, you will not be able to work with it.
