    I have an Australian family trust, that is the managing entity of a LLC in Florida.
    How do I get an EIN? The SS-4 form requires an ITIN, but the W-7 form to get an ITIN requires an EIN.

    Hi YM

    The Family Trust owning the LLC must submit an IRS tax return. Therefore you must have an ITIN first and foremost. A rather complex process involving the Form 2848.

    Since an LLC is involved, you will then need to get an EIN (Employer Identification Number). You need this so the US Federal Govt can identify your business (LLC).

    Good luck
