What Is an EIN?
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a number issued by the IRS to identify businesses and certain other entities for U.S. federal tax purposes.
Whether your entity needs an EIN — and which IRS application method is available to you — depends on the entity's structure, activities and circumstances. Submitting an inquiry is the best way to determine whether we can assist with your situation.

These are examples only. Whether an EIN is required depends on the entity's circumstances and IRS rules. For cross-border entity structuring and compliance, see our cross-border business tax advisory services.

Start Your InquiryForeign Owners Without an SSN or ITIN
Depending on the facts and IRS requirements, a foreign responsible party who does not have and is not eligible for an SSN or ITIN may still be able to apply for an EIN.
The IRS provides specific application procedures for responsible parties without an SSN or ITIN. Whether those procedures are available to you — and what documentation is required — depends on your circumstances. We review your entity's facts and guide you through the appropriate application method.

International EIN Applications
Applicants without a U.S. legal residence, principal place of business, principal office or agency generally cannot use the standard IRS online EIN application and may need to apply through another IRS method.
US CAN Tax Group works with international applicants and foreign-owned entities to identify the appropriate IRS application method for their circumstances, prepare Form SS-4, and coordinate the submission. We work with clients worldwide.
