Don’t know the difference between an SSN, EIN, and ITIN? Here’s a simple breakdown:
● SSN (Social Security Number):
Issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA), this is for U.S. citizens, permanent
residents, and eligible temporary residents. It’s used for social security and personal
identification in the U.S.
● EIN (Employer Identification Number):
Your business’s unique nine-digit identifier, assigned by the IRS. It’s essential for filing
taxes, hiring employees, and establishing a U.S. business presence.
● ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number):
For non-U.S. residents or individuals who are not eligible for an SSN but need to pay
taxes in the U.S
