Thanks for the effort, but the explanation could have been longer

I don't have a certifying acceptance agent in my country, So I guess my options is either sending my passport to the IRS or pay some firm for the service which from a fast check online is around $400/500.

It does appear that some people in some countries are stuck with literally sending their actual passport, which seems crazy. I do wonder if there is a special procedure that could be done to solve this, for example, I wonder if the US Embassy in a certain country, or a government official in a government embassy of the persons home country could verify a passport. (The problem here of course is that the IRS needs not just a signature that you copied a passport, but a testimony that it is a legit/valid passport for your country.) It would make sense if (for example) A French embassy document certifying a French passport should be permitted, but its not clear from the IRS documentation that this is acceptable.

@@jay.rhoden yea, but I did check here in Egypt if the US embassy can verify documents or perform and related services to ITIN or IRS it turned out they don't. The only benefits of dealing with the IRS directly is that the service will probably be free. But I'm still not sure how even though I've read everything related to the topic on the IRS website. Also some of the websites that offer the ITIN service seems shady, but cheaper than others who seem legit like Baker here, or the CCAs that are listed in the IRS website, who I did contact one of them based in Saudi Arabia as it's close to Egypt, very friendly guy and told me it would take 2 months and the fees are almost the same as with Baker. I'm still trying to check if I could find lower fees.

@@talkingshadow I don't have any answers, but your right, trust is a huge issue here, it seems difficult to work out who to trust and who not to trust, We are handing over important personal details to strangers on the internet. One thing I have concluded though, is if people are on KZitem and are working to build up a KZitem reputation, there is some level of trustworthiness implied by the fact that someone in the KZitem game will care about their reputation. So I would personally trust the services of this KZitem channel over someone else.

@@jay.rhoden for me I trust the IRS cca list, including James Baker also. The ones I was worried about are the websites that offer the service and they aren't on the IRS list. But it's still easy for me to check everything about it's not that complicated. I just hate the fact that I need to, it's not a good start lol

Hi James, I got two questions: As a non resident, if I open an LLC and get a EIN to open a bank account, would I ever need to get an ITIN? I understand I won't have to file any tax forms as an individual, so would I need to have an ITIN at any step of the process of opening and operating an LLC? Just curious, what's the name of that painting in the background?

Yes, he answers "How to get an ITIN", but not when/why to get an "ITIN". I think some of the IRS forms are unclear as to when an ITIN is needed, optional, or not needed.
