🇪🇬 Egypt ITIN Service

ITIN for Egyptian Investors with US Rental Income

US Rental Income · Form 1040-NR · FIRPTA | IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent

✅ US–Egypt Tax Treaty (Active since 1981): Egypt has an active income tax treaty with the United States. Royalties are withheld at 0%, dividends at 5%/15%, and interest at 15% with a valid ITIN + W-8BEN filed with your US payer.

⚠️ Only use an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA): A CAA can certify your original documents so you don't need to mail your passport to the IRS. ITINPlus operates as a CAA — we handle everything remotely via email.

Why Egyptian Real Estate Investors Need an ITIN

US rental income is taxable — requires Form 1040-NR filing
ITIN required on Form 1040-NR for non-US persons
Property managers may withhold 30% of rent without ITIN/W-8BEN
US–Egypt treaty: 15% interest rate on mortgage interest from US sources
ITIN required for FIRPTA compliance when selling US property

US Rental Income Tax for Egyptian Nationals

Egyptian nationals who own US rental property must report rental income to the IRS via Form 1040-NR, which requires an ITIN. The US–Egypt tax treaty provides additional context for income sourced from US real estate investments. FIRPTA also applies to property sales, requiring the ITIN for withholding certificate applications.
