What tax forms do prop firms send to IRS for non-US customers (those with W-8) at the end of each year?
How a foreign customer can obtain a Tax ID I have been told that it is more complicated today to obtain it. Thanks

http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96287,00.html#revised What are the revised application standards for ITINs? Effective immediately, each ITIN applicant must now: * Apply using the revised Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ; and * Attach a federal income tax return to the Form W-7. Applicants who meet an exception to the requirement to file a tax return (see the instructions for Form W-7)must provide documentation to support the exception. The exceptions are quite restrictive, so for all intents and purposes, filing a tax return is the only way to get it.
Since you say "prop firms", do you really mean "customer"? That is, are you a member/partner in an LLC, getting a partnership income K1 form at the end of the year, instead of a 1099?
