| Issued by | IRS (Form W-7) | IRS (Form SS-4) |
| Used for | Personal tax filings, KYC, banking, Stripe owner verification | Business bank accounts, payroll, business tax returns |
| Who needs it | Non-US individuals with U.S. tax obligations | Any LLC, corporation, or partnership operating in the U.S. |
