ITIN expiration alert

The IRS has issued a reminder that taxpayers with expiring Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) can get their them renewed more quickly and avoid refund delays next year by submitting their renewal application now. An ITIN is a tax ID number used by taxpayers who don't qualify to get a Social Security number. Any ITIN with middle digits 83, 84, 85, 86 or 87 will expire at the end of this year. In addition, any ITIN not used on a tax return in the past three years will expire. As a reminder, ITINs with middle digits 70 through 82 that expired in 2016, 2017 or 2018 can also be renewed.
