ITIN stands for “Individual Taxpayer Identification Number”. It is a U.S tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service for those who may not qualify for a social security number and need to file for a federal tax return. It is a 9-digit number that always starts with the number 9.
The role of the ITIN is to help an individual comply with U.S tax laws and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments.
ITINS expire every 3, (three), years as a result of the PATH act which was brought in on December 2015 in order to protect Americans from tax hikes. If your number has expired, then you will not be eligible for specific tax credits, these include the American opportunity tax credit and the child tax credit. It will also delay your tax refund. If you need to renew your ITIN, our certified acceptance agents and tax professionals are here to answer any of your questions and help you through the entire process.
