Foreigner obtaining tax ID

Asked by: Natalya  — 27 May, 2011

Hi, I reside in Canada and my C-corporation is formed in Wyoming. I’ve obtained EIN already. How to apply for Tax ID number (Foreign Entity Qualification)?

Natalya,

I think there is a bit of confusion in terms. Foreign Entity Qualification is actually a process of registering a company formed in one US state (or foreign country) in another US state.

If I understand your intention correctly you are looking to obtain a personal tax ID (called ITIN) to be able to file your personal taxes in the US. If that’s correct I would recommend you to either talk to your accountant, who will be able to help you obtain one while filing your taxes, or find a Acceptance Agent closest to you who can help you obtain the ITIN.
