[WSBAPT] Non-US Resident Administrator to an Estate - How to obtain an EIN for the Estate

[msafren at jennylinglaw.com]

Hello List mates:

 

I have a couple of questions about a non-resident administrator attempting
to administer their relative's estate here in Washington.  An administrator
to an Estate is a non-US resident/ non-US citizen and therefore does not
have either a social security number or ITIN.  In order to obtain a EIN #
for the estate, the online application requires either a social security
number or ITIN for the administrator.  Is there anyway around the ITIN
requirement for the administrator?  

 

Follow up question - if there is no work around and the ITIN is required,
does anyone know the specific exception that this ITIN application falls
under for filing as a first time applicant without a tax return.  I'm
thinking that this would be exception #2(A) Wages, Salary, Compensation, and
Honoraria Payments, but if anyone knows or has guidance, I would certainly
appreciate it. 

 

Thank you! 

 

Warmest regards,
