Why Brazilian Freelancers Need a US ITIN

  • W-8BEN compliance — US clients require this form before paying non-US freelancers; ITIN is mandatory for line 6.
  • Upwork & Fiverr — Both platforms require a completed tax interview with W-8BEN for non-US contractors.
  • Stripe & PayPal — US payment processors require W-8BEN with ITIN for non-US merchants.
  • Tax withholding prevention — Without ITIN, platforms withhold up to 30% of your earnings as default tax.
  • Professional credibility — US clients increasingly verify tax documentation before signing freelance agreements.
⚠️ No US–Brazil Tax Treaty: Brazil has no income tax treaty with the US. Standard withholding rates apply — but your ITIN + W-8BEN is still required for all US platform and IRS compliance.

⚠️ Always Use an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)

Many ITIN services are not registered CAAs. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent — we certify your documents, prepare your W-7, and submit directly to the IRS. No original passport mailing required.

ITIN and W-8BEN for Brazilian Freelancers

As a Brazilian freelancer working with US clients, you're classified as a non-resident alien under US tax law. US companies are required to obtain your W-8BEN before making payments — and that form requires your ITIN on line 6. Without it, the form is incomplete and the payer defaults to 30% withholding.

Once you have your ITIN, completing W-8BEN is straightforward — you submit it to each US client or platform that pays you, certifying your Brazilian residency. Since Brazil has no US tax treaty, standard withholding rates apply on passive income, but most freelance service income performed in Brazil is not subject to US withholding at all. ITIN Plus helps Brazilian freelancers navigate this in 8–14 weeks.
