An ITIN identifies an individual for US tax purposes when they are not eligible for a Social Security Number. An EIN identifies a business. We confirm which application fits your situation.
Tax ID - ITIN & EIN
Prepare your tax ID application with guidance on eligibility, documents, and submission.
Not sure which tax ID you need? The right application depends on whether you are filing as an individual or registering a business. We review your situation before preparing the request.
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is for people who need a US tax ID and are not eligible for a Social Security Number. An EIN (Employer Identification Number) identifies a business for federal tax purposes. They serve different needs and are not interchangeable.
