Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)
What You Need to Know
Processing delays are likely for filers with expired Individual Tax Identification Numbers.
There are two reasons an ITIN would expire December 31, 2016:
If you have not used your ITIN on a U.S. tax return at least once for tax years 2013, 2014 or 2015 or
If your ITIN has the middle digits 78 or 79 (9NN-78-NNNN or 9NN-79-NNNN)
What You Need to Do
You can renew your ITIN now if it expired and you plan to use it on a U.S. tax return.
No action is needed by expired ITIN holders who don’t need to file a tax return next year.
There are new documentation requirements when applying for or renewing an ITIN for certain dependents.
To avoid delays, ensure accurate W-7 and valid ID documents are submitted.
