an individual, or a CNPJ for a legal entity here in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to provide it in countries that have tax codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the countries that have NIF are: Brazil, the United States, Germany, Spain, France, Portugal, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States the TIN can be obtained in different ways, we will explain the main US TINs: ITIN, SSN, EIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How important is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SSNs are used to identify the taxpayer to the US Federal Government and some instances in the US states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a person has a SSN, he\/she contributes to and receives benefits from the American social security system, such as: unemployment insurance, medical assistance (in case he\/she is a low-income citizen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SSN is used for international taxes and various social security programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to have a TIN before receiving government loans such as student loans or welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are TINs?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different processes to get them, depending on the TIN you want to take out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ITIN NUMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a TIN for processing data for the US Internal Revenue Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only used for federal tax reporting, it does not give you access to work in the US, or validity for retirement benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/redconsultingus.com\/blog\/en\/the-tax-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ITIN NUMBER<\/a> must be issued regardless of immigration status, whether you are a foreign national residing in the US or not, you should be aware that your US tax return can be sent to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SSN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The SSN is equivalent to the CPF for an individual in Brazil, through it you can create an account in American banks, request credit analysis, contract a telephone plan, among many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We emphasize that the SSN does not guarantee your right to work in the United States, for this you must have an <a href=\"http:\/\/redconsultingus.com\/blog\/en\/american-green-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American green card<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EIN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EIN is the employer identification number that the IRS uses to differentiate one company from another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the desire to expand your business to the USA, you should know that opening a bank account for your company requires having the EIN in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
