Get My ITIN — $99 →⏱ 4-minute read
Kenyans are among the most active earners on US platforms — Upwork, Fiverr, Amazon KDP, YouTube, and US LLCs. But without a US ITIN, the IRS classifies you as an unknown foreign person and withholds up to 30% of your income — or blocks your payments entirely.
The solution is a US ITIN. And at $99, ITIN Plus is the most affordable IRS Certified Acceptance Agent for Kenyans — no passport mailing, no embassy visits, 100% money-back guarantee.
Other services charge $297–$500 for the exact same IRS result. ITIN Plus charges $99 — includes W-7 preparation, document certification, IRS submission, and full support.
Kenya and the United States do not have a comprehensive income tax treaty. The standard 30% IRS withholding applies on most US-source income. However, you still need an ITIN to file US returns, claim refunds, and operate your US LLC.
| Situation | Without ITIN | With ITIN |
|---|---|---|
| Upwork / Fiverr W-8BEN | Incomplete — payment risk | ✅ Fully compliant |
| US client direct payments | 30% withheld or blocked | ✅ Payments clear properly |
| US tax return filing | Cannot file — no tax ID | ✅ File 1040-NR, claim refunds |
| US LLC distributions | IRS compliance risk | ✅ Properly reported |
| Amazon KDP royalties | 30% withheld | ✅ Properly taxed & reported |
Your KRA PIN can sometimes be noted as a foreign TIN on W-8BEN, but a US ITIN is required to properly file US returns and satisfy most US payers.
