Legal Question in Tax Law in Massachusetts
ITIN-Corp.
I want to open a corporation. I already
have a ITIN. Could I use it to claim my
taxes for the corp.?
Is that anything else that should be
done for not have problem with the
IRS?

Re: ITIN-Corp.
Well, first you need to file the proper incorporation papers with the secretary of state. That will give life to the corporation as an entity. Then you would need to obtain a Federal Tax ID number (FEIN) for it, which is different than the ITIN. ITIN is mainly for nonresidents who don't have an SSN but are required to file tax returns. When you apply for the FEIN and specify the legal structure of your entity, you will be advised on what your filing requirements are with the IRS. You may have other filing requirements with the state. Feel free to call my office for further info.
