Tax identification support

EIN & ITIN Application Assistance from Pakistan

An EIN identifies a business for US federal tax purposes; an ITIN identifies an eligible individual who has a US tax reason and cannot get an SSN. Free Unicorn helps Pakistani founders identify the appropriate application and prepare the agreed paperwork. A US LLC does not automatically mean its owner needs an ITIN. Eligibility, supporting evidence and IRS processing differ, so confirm your tax purpose before purchasing assistance.

Service overview

EIN and ITIN application support

For an EIN, prepare the entity’s legal name, formation details, address and responsible-party information for Form SS-4. For an ITIN, establish an eligible US federal tax purpose and review Form W-7 identity and foreign-status evidence. An ITIN application usually accompanies a federal tax return unless a documented exception applies. Confirm the permitted document-submission route before sending originals.

  • EIN application assistance for eligible US businesses
  • ITIN application support for eligible individuals
  • Document preparation guidance
  • Clear communication on expected process and requirements

EIN versus ITIN: purpose, eligibility and evidence

EIN — business identifier

Form SS-4 identifies the entity and responsible party. The IRS issues an EIN free; our charge is for assistance.

ITIN — individual identifier

Form W-7 is for eligible individuals with a US federal tax purpose who cannot obtain an SSN. A return or qualifying exception is normally needed.

Read IRS requirements

Responsible party without an SSN or ITIN

IRS SS-4 instructions explain when foreign or N/A may be entered. Review eligibility before buying an unnecessary ITIN.

Who this supports

Which application fits your circumstances?

A company owner may need an EIN without needing an ITIN. Neither number replaces a bank’s independent eligibility checks.

New US business owners

Review EIN requirements after formation and identify the genuine responsible party.

Individuals with US tax needs

Review ITIN eligibility, SSN ineligibility and the accompanying return or exception.

Owners without a US tax purpose

An ITIN is not automatically appropriate simply because you want a payment account.

Existing number holders

Check existing IRS notices before requesting another number; a fresh application may be unnecessary.
