Get My ITIN — $99 →⏱ 4-minute read
Filipinos 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 Filipinos — 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.
The Philippines and the US have a tax treaty that allows Filipino residents to claim reduced withholding rates on royalties, dividends, and other US-source income by using a US ITIN.
The US and Philippines have a tax treaty. Here's what Filipinos with a US ITIN can claim:
| Income Type | Without ITIN (Standard) | With ITIN + Treaty |
|---|---|---|
| Royalties (KDP, software, content) | 30% withheld | ✅ 15% |
| Dividends | 30% withheld | ✅ 15–25% |
| Interest income | 30% withheld | ✅ 10–15% |
| Independent services | 30% withheld | ✅ Reduced rate |
| US real estate income (FIRPTA) | 30% withheld | ✅ File 1040-NR, claim refunds |
| Situation | Without ITIN | With ITIN |
|---|---|---|
| Upwork / Fiverr W-8BEN | No treaty benefit claimed | ✅ Reduced withholding with treaty |
| Amazon KDP royalties | 30% withheld | ✅ 15% with US-Philippines treaty |
| YouTube US AdSense | 24–30% withheld | ✅ Treaty rate applied |
| US LLC distributions | IRS compliance risk | ✅ Properly reported |
| US real estate income | 30% FIRPTA withheld | ✅ File 1040-NR, claim back |
Your Philippine TIN can sometimes be used as a foreign TIN on W-8BEN Line 6, but a US ITIN is required to file Form 1040-NR, claim treaty refunds, and satisfy most US payers.
