[WSBAPT] Nonresident Alien PR - Estate Tax ID

[Dan Findley]

Krista,

This is correct. You will have to follow the filing instructions for the Form W-7.  It’s not an online filing.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Nonresident Alien PR - Estate Tax ID

Hello Listmates,

I just had a PR appointed in a probate - the Canadian citizen/resident brother of decedent.  I had not thought ahead to obtaining the estate tax ID number.  I am required to provide a SSN/ITIN for the PR.  The PR has no intention to work or immigrate to the US, so I think an ITIN is more appropriate.  I am wondering if anyone has gone through this who can confirm that having the PR apply for an ITIN is the right thing to do?  I gather that this cannot be done quickly online, like an EIN can?

Thank you
