Hi,

A friend just told me, that I can apply for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for my parents and in-laws...fyi, they have visited the US on a B1 visa this year.

Additionally(obviously), my friend also said that I can claim Tax Deductions for them using their ITINs.

My question is: Is the above correct? Is this allowed? Is it legal? Have any of you done this before?

Thank you,

-RG
