TP’s principal business is located overseas in a foreign country (no US County and State). Can TP just insert the name of the foreign country in Line 6?


Thanks you for your help.

When all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and do your best to interpret them.

Line 6. County and state where principal business is located.
Enter the entity's primary physical location.

The EIN hotline for international applicants can accept foreign addresses without a problem.

What is the reason why your client overseas will require an EIN?

The quickest way, by far, is to apply over the phone instead of by snail mail.

You can still apply by phone?
