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.

Thank you very much for your reply, I guess I can go forward and use it

Cheers
