US Taxpayers who have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) should check to see if their numbers will be expiring at the end of the year. More than 2 million ITINs are set to expire at the end of 2019.

If your ITIN has not been used on a US tax return at least once in the last three consecutive tax years or it has the middle digits 83, 84, 85, 86 or 87 it will expire on 31 December 2019.  Additionally, if the middle digits of your ITIN are 70 through 82 and have previously expired, you will need to renew your ITIN if you have a US filing requirement.

To renew an expiring ITIN, you must submit a completed Form W-7, “Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number,” and all required supporting documents to the IRS.

If you need assistance with renewing, please contact Patricia Lydon.
