I have been working on a simple guide for people on how to apply for and get an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from the IRS so that they can file tax returns and be able to take legitimate deductions. With an ITIN and a 1040 they can also declare income and prove that they pay taxes. An ITIN is for people who can't get a SSN.
I wanted to try to write a very short and simple how-to guide because the process for applying for an ITIN can be very frustrating and the IRS instructions are long and confusing. I know this from experience!
But I will need help with translating to Spanish and with making it available to everyone who wants it for free. I would also be happy if you can help me by reading it and giving advise on how to improve the English writing.
Thank you :)

Yes I know the IRS has instructions for filling the W-7 Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. If you read my question you will see that I have been through it and I know it was a hassle. The IRS instructions are NOT written to make things easy.
And I can read English and some Spanish and I don't think I am a stupid girl.

I could translate it with Microsoft word 2007 just email me what you got and I'll send right back but I'm not sure how accurate the translation will be. I'm sure it will be close though.
this is an example of your question in spanish:
He estado trabajando en una guía simple para la gente en cómo solicitar y conseguir un número de identificación individual del contribuyente (ITIN) del IRS de modo que puedan archivar declaraciones de impuestos y poder tomar deducciones legítimas. Con un ITIN y 1040 pueden también declarar renta y probar que pagan impuestos. Un ITIN está para la gente que no puede conseguir un SSN. Deseé intentar escribir un muy corto y simple cómo-a guía porque el proceso para solicitar un ITIN puede muy frustrar y las instrucciones del IRS son largas y confusas. ¡Sé este por experiencia! Pero voluntad necesito ayuda con traducir al español y con ponerlo a disposición cada uno que lo desee para libre. También sería feliz si usted puede ayudarme leyéndolo y dando para aconsejar en cómo mejorar la escritura inglesa.

The IRS has already translated most forms into Spanish. (Of course, if the instructions are as obtuse as the English instructions are, it probably won't help much, but it's a start...) Here is a link to the Spanish ITIN instructions and FAQs:

Believe it or not, the ITIN comes with instructions. The IRS beat you to it.

They got em already, the town, in Mexico, I live in provides all that info to any Mexican who seeks it. They encourage them to go and help them. The itin info is part of that program.

If they want to be here and ANY possibility at being a citizen, they need to speak and write in English because that is what the test is in, as well as the oath/declaration that they take.

Sigy suppose I had your SSN and was using it to get work. Sigy now suppose more of my friends also needed to work your ssn was offered as a way to get work. Would you be ok with sharing your ssn as well as you ss benefits to others who did pay in just with your ssn. Would you agree to this arrangement as you know Sigy to work a ssn is needed so would you object to 20 to 50 people using your id? How can you look at anyone illegal and know the ssn is not stolen and a child's number is taken and used.Sigy you cannot tell me God approves of any person stealing from children. Is this practice ok with God to harm his children

How about no, hell no, and I don't think so! How about the MEXICAN learn to read and write ENGLISH? I'll be #$%%^^& if the government try to bend to the way of MY ancestors that got here!
Try this. YOU go to another country, and try to claim their benefits...if they have any. Seriously.

Holy crap! I'll be right back... I have to get my Masters in translating long detailed questions... and even if I knew the answer to your long "Detailed" question... I have a suspicion you are trying to help illegals get BS Gov Loop holed ID's... Good luck with that.
