SS-4 Form (EIN) - A foreigner with a SSN

[Paddy59]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to start a LLC in NM and I saw that asking for an EIN takes about 45 days for a foreigner and only few days for a SSN holder.

I used to be a temporary worker, I have a SSN but I'm not a resident and I don't have a visa (I left 2 years ago).

If I apply for an EIN with my SSN, what would happen?
Would the IRS assume I'm a resident in the USA?

Cheers 🙂

They will issue EIN and will assume nothing. Providing you did not declare earnings unwisely that caused an unpaid tax liability.
