Why Brazilian Podcasters Need a US ITIN
- US podcast sponsors — US advertisers and networks require W-8BEN with ITIN before paying non-US podcast hosts.
- Spotify for Podcasters — Spotify's monetization programs require tax documentation for non-US participants.
- Apple Podcasts Subscriptions — Apple's paid podcast subscription program requires W-8BEN with ITIN.
- Patreon & Supercast — US-based subscription platforms require tax interview completion for non-US creators.
- Ad network payments — US podcast ad networks (Midroll, AdvertiseCast) require ITIN for non-US podcasters.
⚠️ 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.
Podcast Monetization & ITIN for Brazilians
Brazilian podcast creators with US audiences are increasingly attractive to US advertisers and sponsors. When a US brand or network approaches you for a sponsorship deal, their accounting team will ask you to complete a W-8BEN form before sending payment. This form requires your ITIN.
Platform-based monetization (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Patreon) also requires tax identification through each platform's tax interview process. Without your ITIN, payments may be withheld or your monetization application delayed. ITIN Plus gets Brazilian podcasters their ITIN in 8–14 weeks — flat $99 fee.
