How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Pro accounts require ssn how do you get around that?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

you have to use EIN

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

You can either use your SSN or a EIN for Tax Setup.

If you've already used your SSN on a previous account you will now need to apply for a EIN and use that.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

EIN can be used but since those are not so easily obtained the other solution is to forego those Pro accounts altogether and just spread your sales across multiple accounts.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Problem is you are limited at 50 transactions.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

^^Also, it's pretty darn easy to "obtain" an EIN :)

Bit tricky for amazon.

EIN's are not really that hard to get.

You can apply online from Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m and the process takes only about 10-20 minutes depending on how fast you are.

Lot of hot threads to read about the EIN Swizzle as well as the IRS website

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Hm, that's assuming that you have Corporation already setup, right? My experience has been that you can only obtain 1 EIN per person in your lifetime. Is there a way around this, or are you talking about something else? :noidea:

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Unlimited amount of EINs. Some say you can only get one a day, but that is not true either. You can get one EIN for one type of entity per day.

How many companies does Donald Trump have with his name or initials on it? It is just under 500 if you did not know. All of course have its own EIN attached.

Most major Hedge Funds(EIN) will own dozens, hundreds and even thousands of EINs and that is an entity in itself.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Wow that's great, but let me see if I understand this correct. These are EINs obtained under corporation, not person/sole proprietor? I've tried to get a second one under person and it didn't allow me.

Do you form the corporation first, or just pretend that the corporation exist? I've heard that if you setup EIN under corporation that doesn't exist, even though it allows you to get the EIN, within a month or two Amazon gets a wind of it somehow and shuts down your account? Is that correct?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Something like this:

1. Setup corporation (ex Donald LLC)
2. Obtain EIN under Donald LLC
3. Next day apply for another EIN for Donald LLC
4. Next day apply for another EIN for Donald LLC

Setup 3 different stealth accounts for Donald LLC with each EIN and different address/cc/banks, etc?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

No, not at all. Kraft Corporation owns hundreds of other companies. Each company is its own entity just owned by Kraft.

You can only have one sole proprietor EIN but it does not make any sense to have one. Most taxed, most liability and it is you.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Typically you get the EIN from the IRS before registering with the state, so I guess all EINs at one point are not yet companies...

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

you can get an ein online just go to the irs website pretty simple

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

My ssn stealth works But add far as ein how much does allthis cost? ?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

SSN stealth means....?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

meant just ssn

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

If you use a ssn on a paypal account, does this account still consider as stealth?

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

You seek professional tax advise for this.

Start by looking over the IRS site.

www.irs.gov

Free to use and, surprisingly, user friendly.


:shhh:

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

If you use your SSN then 1) PP has that info on file forever (for the most part) 2) Why would you want them having access to your real info? 3) Debatable on stealth status even if all steps are followed.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Yes, you can create, in theory, 100 EINs, but the repercussions in the long term for having so many companies under your SSN is unforeseen.

You would need to file for taxes on 100 different EINs. That's insane! You still have to do things the smart way...

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Hi, can a Non-US resident get a SSN/EIN for stealth accounts on amazon.com without having to open a LLC or sole prop. company?
Kindly throw some light.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Nobody can USA citizen or not.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

How could it be stealth?

The SSN belongs to a unique idividual whose name is likely not on the stealth account.

:deadhorse:

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

OK, I need clarification on this.

Can a single individual or single corporation have several EINs or not? Now I understand that anyone can open unlimited number of corporations, each with it's own unique EIN number. That's not my question, everyone knows that. My question is can one individual (SSN) or Corporation (with it's already assigned EIN) own several more EINs without opening new corporation for each?

Again, I'm pretty much 100% sure that ONE individual (with one SSN) CANNOT have several EIN numbers. The limit is 1 for life. I've discussed this with IRS several times.

I have not tried to do the same with a Corporation, but assume same rules apply. The messages on this thread make it sound like one Corporation can have unlimited EINs...

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Your corp can own other LLCs and corps but it is still filing for a new LLC or Corp.

Example is Kraft owning several other brands/companies all with its own entities. Then those profits pass through to Kraft.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Example:

Titan Holdings Corporation
Holds:
ABC Realty Trust
Bluepond Estate LLC
Barkley Point LLC
Ronalds Sales and Marketing LLC

The profits/losses pass through to Titan Holdings. It is essentially a tax strategy and for raising unsecured capital.

Re: How do you get professional account when they require ssn?
 

Thank you Yankee, that's what I suspected I guess. So no, the answer is no. You need to setup many new corporations, and it's completely irrelevant who owns them, if one of them owns all the rest, or half own the other half, or me personally owns all the corporations. At the end of the day, you paid for setting up all of them, you pay for maintaining them, you pay yearly fees, and you pay for taxes, even if it's just pass through profits. :(
