Question: W-7 form with tax return?!!!!!!?

I Want to apply for a Tax ID number..
I’m a non US citizen alien . until now, I never been inside the US, .. until now, I don’t have any finance relation with the US

On IRS.gov i found out that i should apply by W-7 form, attached with ((original, completed tax return(s) for which the ITIN is needed))…
How could I present a tax return .. I still don’t have any finance relation with the US.. in fact I need the Tax ID number to make this happened.
I’M NOT INSIDE THE USA..
I’M RESIDEING OUTSIDE THE USA.
there is no IRS office in my country

Answer: The main reasons one would apply for an ITIN is if (a) you are filing an annual tax return, or (b) to apply for a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty or domestic law.

It sounds like you’re in category (b) from your post. To apply in this group:
* Tick box “h” and write in the space next to it which exception (1, 2, etc.). You’ll find the list of exceptions on page 3 of the instructions. If you have a US securities or bank account, it’s exception 1.
* You have to include your passport with your application. I for one wouldn’t want to ship mine off to an amorphous bureaucratic blob. Therefore, either bring your application in person to your nearest IRS office (on your next visit to the US or check your US Embassy to see if they have an IRS office), or else arrange for a notarized copy of your passport. The notarized copy needs to have an apostille attached. This will cost you a few squids.
* Be prepared to wait a while. These applications can take up to twelve weeks.
* If you’re selling a piece of US real estate, there are a lot more instructions involved – talk to a US accountant to guide you through the process.
