AZ Legal Choice LLC: Difference between an ITIN, an EIN and a SSN

An ITIN (Individual Tax Identification Number) is issued to an individual by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) for tax purposes only. An ITIN is not valid for identification outside of the tax system. It does not grant the right to work in the U.S., change immigration status, and does not qualify the applicant for Earned Income Tax Credit (www.irs.gov).

A SSN is issued by the SSA (Social Security Administration) and used for tax purposes and employment purposes.
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is issued by the IRS to businesses. An EIN is for use with your business activities (tax filing and reporting purposes).

AZ Legal Choice LLC is an entity which, pursuant to a written Agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, is authorized to assist alien individuals and other foreign persons who are ineligible or unable to receive a Social Security Number, in obtaining ITINs from the IRS.
