Can a foreign resident be a shareholder in an S Corporation?
In order to be eligible to be a shareholder of an S-Corporation the individual would need to be classified as a “Resident Alien”. A “Resident Alien” has the legal capacity to work and pay taxes in the United States and therefore should possess a Social Security Number (SSN) or a Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
