ITIN vs EIN — What Indonesians Need to Know

  • ITIN (Individual) — Your personal US tax ID as a non-US person. Required for W-8BEN, 1040-NR, Form 5472, and treaty claims.
  • EIN (Business) — Your US LLC's tax ID. Required for US bank accounts, Stripe, and business tax returns.
  • Most Indonesian entrepreneurs need both — ITIN for themselves, EIN for their US LLC.
  • EIN can be obtained before ITIN — You can get an EIN before your ITIN arrives. ITIN Plus offers both.
  • Treaty claim requires ITIN — Indonesia's US tax treaty can only be claimed on W-8BEN with your personal ITIN (not EIN).
✅ US–Indonesia Tax Treaty (Active since 1990): Indonesia has an active income tax treaty with the United States. With a valid ITIN and W-8BEN, dividend withholding is reduced to 15% and royalties/interest to 10% — significantly lower than the standard 30% rate.

⚠️ Only an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) Can Certify Your Documents

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 documents, file your W-7 directly with the IRS, and track your application. No original passport mailing required.

ITIN and EIN — Two Different Numbers with Different Purposes

Your EIN is your US LLC's business tax ID — for banking, Stripe, Amazon FBA, and business returns. Your ITIN is your personal tax ID — for W-8BEN, Form 5472, and claiming Indonesia's 1990 US tax treaty benefits on your W-8BEN. You need BOTH for a fully compliant US business structure.

ITIN Plus provides ITIN ($99) and EIN ($50 add-on) in a single streamlined engagement. Email apply@itinplus.com to get both your personal and business US tax IDs in 8–14 weeks.
