Ein and Itin Application

All kinds of businesses, including corporations, partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietorships, require an EIN. Additionally, if you’re creating a business bank account, submitting certain tax returns, or recruiting staff, you’ll require an EIN

An EIN can be obtained over the phone, via mail, fax, or online. Further details on how to apply can be found on the IRS website.

An EIN can facilitate tax filing, help you establish company credit, and keep your business and personal finances apart.

The speed of your new EIN arrival depends on your chosen application method. The process involves receiving the item online, receiving it via phone, expecting it within 48 hours via fax, and allowing 4-5 weeks for mail delivery.

Yes, there is a daily restriction on EINs set by the IRS. The IRS only issues one EIN per eligible party each day in order to guarantee fair and equal access for all taxpayers. This holds true for all forms of EIN applications, including those submitted via mail, fax, phone, or internet.

An EIN cannot be directly transferred to another entity after a merger or acquisition. The type of merger determines whether the surviving entity retains its own EIN or if a new entity is formed. Both entities must inform the IRS and file additional state filings.

You can use an ITIN to navigate the US financial system and obtain your legal tax benefits. An ITIN grants non-resident foreigners in the United States several important benefits:

• Claim any owing tax refunds and credits.
• Create credit by opening bank accounts and establishing a credit history.
• Protect yourself by avoiding any tax fines and remaining compliant

Anyone can apply for an ITIN if they fit into one of the following categories:

• Is not eligible to receive an SSN and does not currently own one.
• A nonresident immigrant who must submit a U.S. tax return; a U.S. resident alien who is filing a U.S. tax return depending on the number of days they have been in the country.
• A dependent or spouse of a resident alien or U.S. citizen.
• A dependent or spouse of a nonresident alien visa holder.

To file a tax return, enter your ITIN in the SSN field on the tax form, fill out the rest of the form, and send it to the IRS.

Typically, fees for Commercial Certifying Acceptance Agents can go from $150 to $475 or more.

An ITIN can indirectly affect a business’s international tax reporting obligations, potentially raising IRS concerns about transfer pricing and foreign income reporting. It may also affect eligibility for benefits restricted by tax treaties with non-residents, and complicate reporting for entities operating in other countries through branches or subsidiaries under foreign laws.
