I am an estate executor. Can I pass along estimated tax withholding to some beneficiares ?

Some beneficiaries live oversea and don`t have ITIN. Withholding taxes for them is impossible.

The only way you can do Estimated Tax payment is for the person (or entity would have an EIN) to have a SSN, or ITIN.

Otherwise any estimated taxes you would pay to IRS would not properly get assigned to those beneficiaries living overseas.

So if you want to have taxes withheld for these overseas individuals I would have them apply for a ITIN and do it that way.  For details on an ITIN see: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/individual-taxpayer-identification-number
