It’s time again for folks to renew their ITINs…here are some things to remember

New ITIN

Taxpayers with individual taxpayer identification numbers should find out if their number expires this year.  If it does, they should renew it now to avoid delays with their refund when they file their taxes next year.

An ITIN is a tax ID number used by taxpayers who don’t qualify for a Social Security number. Here’s what these taxpayers need to know about which numbers are expiring and how to renew them.

Which numbers are expiring at the end of this year?

Any ITIN with middle digits 83, 84, 85, 86 or 87.
Any ITIN not used on a tax return in the past three years.

What about numbers that expired in the last few years?
ITINs with middle digits 70 through 82 that expired in 2016, 2017 or 2018 can also be renewed.

How does someone renew their number?

Taxpayers with expiring ITINs need to complete renewal application, Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. They should include all required ID and residency documents. Failure to do so will delay processing. until the IRS receives these documents.

When should someone submit their renewal applications?

As soon as possible. With nearly 2 million taxpayer households affected, applying now will help avoid the rush.

What are some tips to avoid common mistakes that are made when submitting their renewal?

  • Indicate the reason for the ITIN on the Form W-7.
  • Mail the proper identification documents. Taxpayers mailing their ITIN renewal applications must include original identification documents or copies certified by the issuing agency and any other required attachments.
  • Include all supporting documentation, such as U.S. residency or official documentation to support name changes.
  • Complete the new W-7 application.

Taxpayers with expiring ITINs should take action now to avoid issues later

More than 2 million Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers are set to expire at the end of 2018. Affected taxpayers who expect to file a tax return in 2019 must submit their renewal applications as soon as possible to beat the rush and avoid refund delays next year.

Here are several facts about which ITINs are expiring and how taxpayers renew them:

  • ITINs that have not been used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three consecutive years will expire Dec. 31, 2018.
  • ITINs with middle digits 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 or 82 will also expire at the end of the year. An example of this is 9NN-73-NNNN. These numbers need to be renewed even if the taxpayer has used it in the last three years.
  • This summer, the IRS is sending the CP-48 Notice, You must renew your Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to file your U.S. tax return, to affected taxpayers with expiring ITINs that have been used at least once in the past three years.
  • The notice explains the steps for taxpayers to take to renew the ITIN if they will include it on a U.S. tax return filed in 2019.
  • Taxpayers who receive the notice after renewing their ITIN do not need to take further action unless another family member is affected.
  • Taxpayers with an ITIN that has middle digits 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 or 82, as well as all previously expired ITINs, have the option to renew ITINs for their entire family at the same time.
  • ITINs with middle digits of 70, 71, 72, 78, 79 or 80 have previously expired. Taxpayers with these ITINs can still renew at any time.
  • To renew an ITIN, a taxpayer must complete Form W-7 and submit all required documentation.

ITINs are used by people who have tax filing or payment obligations under U.S. law but who are not eligible for a Social Security number. ITIN holders who have questions should visit the ITIN information page on IRS.gov and take a few minutes to understand the guidelines.
