By the end of 2019, millions of ITINs were expected to expire. Renewing your Tax ID (ITIN) is essential to keep your taxes up to date and compliant and to avoid refund delays. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assigned renewal schedules based on the two middle digits of your ITIN.
Who must renew?
Taxpayers whose middle digits are 83, 84, 85, 86, or 87 (for example, 9NN-84-NNNN) must renew their ITIN to file taxes for 2020. The IRS began notifying affected taxpayers in the summer of 2019. If you or any dependent on your return has an ITIN with these digits, you should renew as soon as possible to avoid refund delays.
Family renewal options
Taxpayers with middle digits 83, 84, 85, 86, or 87, as well as those with previously expired ITINs, may renew their ITINs and their family members’ ITINs at the same time. If you received an IRS renewal notice, you can also renew family members’ ITINs, even if they are not yet scheduled to expire.
What do I need to renew my ITIN?
To renew your ITIN and your family members’ ITINs, you must complete a Form W-7 for each ITIN and submit original identification documents (contact us to learn about available options). A tax return is not required for renewal.
Avoid common mistakes and tax delays
If you file taxes with an expired ITIN, the IRS may process the return; however, any credits you qualify for may be withheld until the ITIN is renewed, delaying your refund.
