Taxpayer indentification numbers for aliens

There are several types of taxpayer identifying numbers: social security numbers, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) individual taxpayer identification numbers, IRS adoption taxpayer identification numbers, and employer identification numbers.

Social security numbers (SSNs) are used to identify most individuals.  Sole proprietors use employer identification numbers (EINs). Aliens who aren't eligible for SSNs must use IRS individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITINs).

Note:  Aliens and ilegal Aliens are not one in the same. Ilegal aliens are not authorized to work in the USA.  Ilegal Aliens work status are outside of this blog, and you must consult an Imigration Attorney.
