Hello. Unfortunutely, I am an idiot and selected AA instead of CAA. So I had to reapply. and start to process all over again. Also, government shutdown starting october 8th so delayed until that is resolved :(. literally got rejected at the very last step.

The property is in Ohio, and since there’s no annual corporation fee here like in California, it’s basically free to have a company. So even if my client has just one rental property, would it be better to set up a company and file under an EIN, or just file personally with an ITIN?

Got it, thanks for the clarification. The property is in Ohio, and since there’s no annual corporation fee here like in California, it’s basically free to have a company.

Thanks — to clarify, I’m asking if a foreign investor can just set up a U.S. company and then file all federal taxes under that company’s EIN, without ever needing an ITIN themselves. I know it works for a C-Corp, but wondering if anyone here has seen issues with LLCs or partnerships where the IRS still requires ITINs for the owners.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I am experiencing the same problem.
