Ep 36: What is English For "Tax IDs"?

  • Summary

  • We discuss Tax Identification Numbers (TINs). We have fun discovering what they are called in various countries.

    TINs are nine-digit numbers assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the Social Security Administration (SSA) for tax reporting purposes.

    We discuss the history of TINs and the introduction of the Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) in 1996.

    We also explain the eligibility criteria for obtaining a Social Security Number (SSN) and the process of applying for an ITIN. We highlight the importance of TINs for filing taxes, claiming treaty benefits, and opening bank accounts.

    We also mention the Employer Identification Number (EIN) used for business entities.
