Why Brazilian Etsy Sellers Need a US ITIN
- Etsy tax interview — Etsy requires non-US sellers to complete a tax interview with W-8BEN, which requires an ITIN.
- 1099-K reporting — Etsy reports high-volume sellers to the IRS, requiring a valid US tax ID.
- Etsy Payments — Brazilian sellers using Etsy Payments through a US LLC account need EIN + ITIN.
- Digital & handmade goods — Whether selling physical crafts or digital downloads, ITIN ensures IRS compliance.
- Etsy Ads & promotions — Sellers using Etsy advertising services may face enhanced tax verification.
⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.
Etsy & ITIN for Brazilian Sellers
Etsy has millions of buyers in the US, making it a top marketplace for Brazilian artisans, designers, and digital product creators. Etsy requires non-US sellers to complete a W-8BEN tax interview — and this form requires an ITIN to process correctly.
Without a valid ITIN on file, Etsy may withhold a portion of your payouts or flag your account during tax compliance reviews. With your ITIN and W-8BEN submitted, your Etsy account is fully compliant. ITIN Plus gets Brazilian Etsy sellers their ITIN in 8–14 weeks — flat $99 fee.
