Hej,
jag har nyligen publiserad böcker som ska säljas i USA. Böckerna blev publiserad i egen hand med ett företag i USA via the UK. The Authorhouse Publishing company vill att jag skickar in en IRS blanket. Jag har ingen aning hur och varför jag ska skicka in det. Det gäller Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Har ni någong aning om vad det är och varför jag behöver detta nummer?

Hej,
Kanske för att ta ut skatt på royalty som du kan få på din bokförsäljning. Du bör skicka in blanketten. Se nedan vad den är till för.
What is an ITIN used for?
ITINs are for federal tax reporting only, and are not intended to serve any other purpose. IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers (SSNs).
An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Who needs an ITIN?
IRS issues ITINs to foreign nationals and others who have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for SSNs. A non-resident alien individual not eligible for a SSN who is required to file a U.S. tax return only to claim a refund of tax under the provisions of a U.S. tax treaty needs an ITIN.
Other examples of individuals who need ITINs include:
• A nonresident alien required to file a U.S. tax return
• A U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return
• A dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien
• A dependent or spouse of a nonresident alien visa holder
