Wyoming, Delaware or New Mexico, please tell me what's your choice?

[Clank]

What did they change.. you mean Stripe won't accept US LLC owned by foreigners any longer?

They accept them, they even provide you a service to start an LLC

Good luck utilizing the U.S., and don't forget that the annual filing obligations should be taken seriously in the U.S.

I keep reading it from various threads and users.

Do you really think they will hunt you down if you live in France, Germany or Scandinavia and you don't file your tax return in the Delaware LLC but just sign off as director and don't reply to anything?

I don't think so unless we speak a US bank account which they can see was floated with million of dollars!

 

[Risehigh]

No, that is how it works in many European countries. If you have setup companies say in Cyprus, UK or Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany - then you know it is easy as say 123 to just resign and forget about it, they will vanish.

Unless you have millions in depth no one will come after you.

Crazy to hear but it this true?

Hi

Officially 3 months without any response for my EIN application. Should I resend the fax to IRS???

Mate, just got mine this week, I was about same application time as you, dont stress

 

[blizz]

can confirm it is true, no one will get after you. It is new to me that you can't do that with a Delaware LLC any longer.

Back 8 years ago I formed a Delaware company using an agent, I didn't renew it after use for 4 - 5 months and just avoided to reply the agent, never heard anything.

Appreciated bro, after almost 4 months w/o news I am getting a little anxious...

They have done that for a very long time, Stripe.com/atlas is the direct link to that service. I'm not aware of what tax complications you will get as an foreigner, but it is an easy way to quick start it.

4 months is a long period. They issue EIN in 45 business days, which is around 2 months. Call their support and ask them to check in the System. If the number is not ready, your fax/mail did not go through and you definitely need to resend it. It is possible that EIN was assigned for your entity, it just got stuck somewhere in post. You have to call and ask them over phone, they will help you.

I got EIN last week after waiting for 2 months.

AdvCash don't work with New Mexico they confirmed to me. Payoneer is impossible to apply for, shitty crap service requires some sort of introducer, out of question, so Bankera is left to try with TW - two accounts at least

why is payoneer impossible to apply?

Thanks but it says “number disconnected”.

Impossible, I call it all the time. Maybe you can not call 800 US numbers? Try calling from another device.

Guys, just received as a end-of-the-year gift from the IRS the fax with the EIN! Request Fax sent to them on August 31 and EIN received today December 31, exactly 4 months later. Wanted to share the news with you buddies, moved to tears...

Guys, my EIN application was denied.

"We are sorry we can't provide you with an EIN at this time.

The name and Social Security Number (SSN) provided for line 7 do not match our records. Please verify the information you provided and return the Form SS-4 to us with the corrected information".

Line 7 in the form:
7a. Name of corresponding party:
My first and last name

7b. SSN, ITINm or EIN:
FOREIGN

What have I done wrong?

I checked here: How to Apply for EIN (for your LLC) without an SSN or ITIN | LLC University®

"7a. The EIN Responsible Party must be an individual person, therefore, it will be an LLC Member (owner).

7b. This is the box that confuses most people who don’t have an SSN or ITIN and want to get an EIN for their LLC. The solution is to enter “Foreign”. The IRS issues EINs to foreigners all the time and this is what you must enter if you don’t have an SSN or ITIN."

Hi, if you have no SSN or ITIN it is correct to put FOREIGN.
BTW I followed the same LLC University instructions, and all went fine - except for the HUGE delay...

Yeah, I had the same huge delay and in the end, got this. Imagine my reaction...

I am a foreigner and don't have SSN or ITIN.

So, I was rejected by some idiot who didn't know that you can apply without an SSN?

Can be very possible, I am sure this IRS office is ran by “illiterates” (to be polite).
I suggest you to resend the fax and hope it will be processed by a more intelligent human being.
