US Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers & Employer Identification Numbers

If you need to file a US tax return but don't have a Social Security Number (SSN), taxback.com can organize a temporary number for you and file your US tax return.

The Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a nine-digit tax processing number issued by the IRS to taxpayers who do not have or do not qualify for a SSN but who have federal tax reporting or tax filing obligations.

The ITIN may also assist with opening a bank account or applying for a loan.

Why do I need an ITIN?

Without an ITIN, you cannot apply for an income tax refund so you may be missing out on a significant amount of money. If you've earned any income in or from the US, or if you're the dependant or spouse of a US citizen, resident alien or non-resident visa holder, you will have to file a tax return and will need an ITIN Number to do so if you are not eligible for a SSN.

Taxback.com can organise your ITIN number for you, as well as file your US tax return.

Apply for an ITIN online today. Please note that a fee of $100 applies for the ITIN application service.

US Employer Identification Numbers

Local and foreign-owed companies doing businesses in the US need an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number. The EIN is the corporate equivalent of a social security number (SSN).

Your EIN is used to identify your business in the US and you need one if you meet any of the following criteria:

• You employ staff
• You operate your business as a corporation or partnership
• You file employment, excise, or alcohol, tobacco and firearms tax returns
• You withhold taxes on income other than wages and paid to a non-resident alien
• You are involved with trusts, estates, real estate mortgage investment conduits, non-profit organisations, farmers' cooperatives, or plan administrators.

Taxback.com can organize your US EIN for you for the flat fee of US$200 per EIN application.
