Employer Identification Numbers for foreign entities

While foreign entities may not have a federally-assigned tax identification number, in many circumstances a TIN entry is required for e-file purposes.
In scenarios where a foreign entity (without a TIN) must be reported on a return, the term
ForeignUS
should be used in place of an identification number.
Sometimes, however, the field can be left blank, depending on the return being prepared; consult the input screen help topics (by pressing the F1 key while in any field) and the ELF Critical diagnostics to determine which is appropriate. To enter
ForeignUS
, type the letter "F" in any TIN field within UltraTax CS.
When electronically filing a Massachusetts return and reporting information for foreign entities, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue requires that
00-0000000
be entered in place of the EIN.
