[IRS Answer] No, an ITIN or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is not valid for filing an EITC claim for either the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse. IRS issues ITINs when the worker does not have a SSN that is valid for employment and has a federal tax-reporting requirement or files a tax return to claim a refund. The ITIN is valid only for filing a tax return. Find out more on ITINs on irs.gov [Preparer Question]
