While planning to form an LLC in the U.S., I started questioning whether having an ITIN was a mandatory requirement. I wanted to ensure I had all the necessary documents ready to avoid any obstacles during the registration process.

ITIN is issued by the IRS and given to people who are not eligible to obtain a Social Security number (SSN). The most important reason is to allow the payment of federal and state taxes, or better yet, to be entitled to a tax refund!
You do not need it to form an LLC. But, it contributes if you want to open your own business, by applying for an EIN (Employer Identification Number).
