EIN (Employer Identification Number) An EIN — also known as a Tax ID Number — is a unique 9-digit number assigned by the IRS to identify a business. It functions as a digital fingerprint for a company, similar to a Social Security Number for individuals. **Why an EIN is required:** - Opening US business bank accounts - Hiring employees or contractors (required for payroll) - Filing federal and state business tax returns - Applying for business loans and credit - Applying for business licenses and permits - Building business credit history - Separating personal and business finances - Enhancing professional credibility - Eliminating the need to share a personal SSN with suppliers or lenders **How EasyFiling obtains an EIN for non-residents:** - Non-residents without an SSN or ITIN cannot use the IRS online EIN application portal - EasyFiling completes and submits Form SS-4 by fax (EIN received in approximately 4 business days) or by mail (approximately 4–6 weeks) - International applicants can also call the IRS at 267-941-1099 (6 am–11 pm) for phone-based applications - EasyFiling handles the entire SS-4 preparation and submission process on the client's behalf --- ### 3. ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) An ITIN is a unique 9-digit identification number issued by the IRS to individuals who are required to file US taxes but cannot obtain a Social Security Number.

ideal for freelancers, consultants, and small international businesses - C-Corporations are taxed as separate legal entities at the federal 21% corporate rate; strongly preferred by US venture capital investors; better for equity compensation (stock options) and IPO readiness - An LLC can later be converted to a C-Corp — a common path for SaaS and tech startups that initially bootstrap and later seek VC funding - S-Corporations pass income to shareholders, but are generally not available to non-resident alien owners ### Delaware vs. Wyoming — Which State to Choose **Delaware:** - Most popular state for VC-backed startups and technology companies - The Court of Chancery provides a highly business-friendly legal environment with extensive corporate case law precedent - Preferred by investors for equity compensation structures and future IPO planning - Annual report fee: $300; franchise tax due June 1 annually **Wyoming:** - Most popular state for non-resident entrepreneurs and digital/online businesses - No state income tax on individuals - No state corporate income tax - Strong privacy and confidentiality laws for business ownership - Strong asset protection laws - Annual report minimum fee: $60 (fee increases with Wyoming-based assets) - Low ongoing compliance costs ### How LLC Taxation Works by Type - **Single-Member LLC (disregarded entity):** Owner reports all income on personal tax return (Schedule C for US residents, Form 1040-NR for non-residents); no separate business tax return required unless the LLC elects corporate taxation via Form 8832 - **Multi-Member LLC (partnership default):** LLC files Form 1065 annually; each member receives a Schedule K-1 showing their allocated share of income or loss, which they report on Form 1040-NR - **LLC taxed as C-Corp (Form 8832 election):** Files Form 1120; subject to the 21% federal corporate income tax rate - **LLC taxed as S-Corp (Form 2553 election):** Income passes to shareholders; corporation files Form 1120-S; may provide payroll tax savings at higher income levels ### EIN vs. ITIN — Key Differences | | EIN | ITIN | |---|---|---| | Purpose | Business entity identification for tax and banking | Individual personal tax identification | | Who uses it | Business owners, for the business | Individuals who cannot get an SSN | | Used for | Bank accounts, payroll, business tax returns | Personal tax return (Form 1040-NR) | | SSN required to apply | No (Form SS-4 by fax/mail for non-residents) | No (Form W-7) | | Can substitute for the other | No | No | Non-residents who own a US LLC may need BOTH an EIN (for the business) and an ITIN (for their personal US tax filing). ### Wyoming LLC Taxation Summary - No Wyoming state income tax on LLC members - No Wyoming corporate income tax - Annual report required; minimum fee $60 - Federal taxes still apply: non-residents pay 30% on US-sourced income (treaty rates may apply) - Single-member LLC: disregarded entity; owner files Form 1040-NR for US income - Multi-member LLC: partnership; entity files Form 1065; members file Form 1040-NR - C-Corp in Wyoming: files Form 1120; subject to 21% federal rate; no additional state corporate tax ### Delaware C-Corp Taxation Summary - Federal corporate income tax: flat 21% rate on all corporate profits - Delaware state franchise tax: due June 1 annually - C-Corps issue stock and can have unlimited shareholders of any nationality - C-Corps file Form 1120 annually - Foreign-owned C-Corps with significant foreign ownership must also file Form 5472 - Preferred structure for venture capital investment and future IPO --- ## Target Audience **Primary audience:** - Non-US resident entrepreneurs and founders seeking a US business entity - International business owners wanting access to the US market, payment infrastructure, and banking - Freelancers and digital nomads who need a US LLC to access Stripe, PayPal, Mercury, and other US payment tools - SaaS founders and technology startup founders from outside the US - Amazon sellers and e-commerce entrepreneurs needing a US entity - Investors forming US holding companies for real estate or equity investments - Startup founders from South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America **Most common reasons clients form US companies:** - Access the US market and US customers - Reduce personal liability through LLC liability protection - Access US banking and payment infrastructure (Stripe, PayPal, Mercury, Wise) - Gain credibility with US partners and clients - Access US venture capital and investor networks - Facilitate international expansion using a US business entity --- ## Competitive Positioning EasyFiling competes with services such as Doola, ZenBusiness, LegalZoom, StartGlobal, and Incfile.

An ITIN cannot be substituted for an EIN. **What is BOI reporting, and is it mandatory?** BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) reporting is mandatory under the Corporate Transparency Act for most US LLCs and Corporations. It requires disclosing identifying information about individuals who own or control the business to FinCEN. Non-compliance results in fines of $591 per day and potential criminal penalties, including up to 2 years imprisonment. **What happens if a business misses annual report deadlines?** Missing annual state report deadlines can result in the LLC or Corporation being marked as not in good standing, administrative dissolution by the state, personal liability exposure for members, and financial penalties. **What financial records should be maintained for bookkeeping?** Key records include invoices, receipts, bank and credit card statements, the general ledger, payroll records, and historical tax filings. **Can I convert my LLC to a C-Corporation later?** Yes. Converting from an LLC to a C-Corporation is a standard process, particularly common for SaaS and tech startups that grow and seek venture capital funding. EasyFiling can assist with this process. **Does EasyFiling support S-Corporations?** Yes. EasyFiling supports S-Corporation tax filing (Form 1120-S) and formation, though S-Corporations have restrictions on non-resident alien shareholders — non-residents generally cannot be shareholders in an S-Corp. **What is the difference between Delaware and Wyoming for forming a US company as a non-resident?** Delaware is preferred for venture-backed startups and companies planning to raise investment capital or pursue an IPO, due to its established legal framework and investor familiarity. Wyoming is preferred for non-resident entrepreneurs running digital or online businesses due to its zero state income tax, strong privacy laws, low ongoing fees (a $60 annual report minimum), and robust asset protection statutes.
