If you’re just getting started, one of the first steps is registering for your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). A Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is essential not only for legally filing taxes but also for job hunting, opening bank accounts, registering businesses, and completing many government and private transactions. It ensures you can work legally, access services, and meet official requirements smoothly.
