I’m a nonresident in the U.S. and don’t have a Social Security Number, but I do have an ITIN. Can I use it to open a business, or do I need additional documentation?

Yes, you can start a business with an ITIN. While an ITIN allows you to fulfill tax obligations, most states require you to register the business with an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for legal and tax purposes. An EIN is essential for forming an LLC, hiring employees, or opening a business bank account.
Need ITIN? Get one with the assistance of an IRS CAA.
