In short: an EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your company's tax number with the IRS. A non-resident without an SSN or ITIN can get one too, but not through the IRS online application — it has to be filed another way. We prepare and file it for you.
Why you need an EIN
- To open a company bank account.
- To connect Stripe, PayPal and marketplaces such as Amazon.
- To file IRS reports, including Form 5472.
- To hire employees and work with US contractors.
Practically every LLC needs an EIN, even with no employees.
How we get your EIN
- We check the details — the company, its owners and the responsible party.
- We prepare Form SS-4 — the EIN application, with the correct answers for a non-resident.
- We file with the IRS — using a method available to applicants without an SSN.
- We get the confirmation — the IRS letter with your EIN, which we pass on to you.
What we need from you
- Your LLC's formation documents (if we did not form the company).
- The owner's passport details.
- Residential address.
- A short description of the business.
Timing
Depends on the filing method and IRS workload. We will give you a better estimate once we see your situation.
