ITIN Information
WHAT IS AN ITIN?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a United States tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service for those who need to file a federal tax return but aren't eligible for a Social Security number.
ITIN RENEWALS
Under the PATH Act, taxpayers who have not used an ITIN on a tax return in the last 3 years or those with the middle digits of 78 and 79 must renew their ITIN before filing a 2016 tax return. The renewal period begins October 1, 2016.
WHAT DOES AN ITIN NOT DO?
An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit.
WHO NEEDS AN ITIN?
The IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code. Individuals must have a filing requirement and file a valid federal income tax return to receive an ITIN, unless they meet an exception.
