🇺🇸 Do I Need an EIN or ITIN?

One of the most common questions we hear at C&R Priority Services is:
“What’s the difference between an EIN and an ITIN — and which one do I need?”

Let’s break it down:

🔢 What is an EIN?

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is issued by the IRS to businesses.

You need one if you:

Have a business (LLC, corporation, etc.)

Have employees

Want to open a business bank account

Need to file business tax returns

Think of it as a Social Security Number for your business.

👤 What is an ITIN?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is for individuals who need to file U.S. taxes but aren’t eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN).

You may need one if you:

Live in the U.S. without legal status but earn income

Have a dependent who qualifies you for tax credits

Need to file a joint tax return with a U.S. citizen or resident spouse
