Tax Filing
An ITIN allows non-U.S. citizens and individuals who do not qualify for an SSN to meet their tax obligations in the United States. LLC members, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status, may be required to file U.S. tax returns, and an ITIN enables them to do so
Opening a Bank Account
Identification: A valid ITIN serves as a form of identification that allows individuals, including non-U.S. citizens and those not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN), to open a personal or business bank account in the United States.
Tax Compliance: Financial institutions often require individuals to provide a taxpayer identification number (either an SSN or an ITIN) to ensure that the account holder can comply with U.S. tax reporting and withholding requirements. This helps the bank and the account holder adhere to tax regulations.
Business Banking: If you're a member of an LLC or own a business, you may need an ITIN to open a business bank account for your company.
Credit Card Payment Gateway

Merchant Accounts: If you are a business owner, particularly an LLC member or sole proprietor, you may need an ITIN to set up a merchant account with a credit card payment gateway or processor. This enables your business to accept credit card payments from customers.
Tax Reporting: Payment processors often need to report income generated through credit card transactions to the IRS. Having an ITIN ensures that the income can be attributed to the correct taxpayer for tax reporting purposes.
