Time has run out for many ITIN holders who need
to file a federal income tax return in 2017 and want to avoid a long wait for a
refund, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
An Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN) is used by anyone who has tax-filing or payment
obligations under U.S. law but is not eligible for a Social Security number.
Under a recent law change by Congress, any ITIN not used on a tax return at
least once in the past three years have expired on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2017. In
addition, any ITIN with middle digits of either 78 or 79 (9NN-78-NNNN or
9NN-79-NNNN) have also expired on that date.
This means that anyone
with an expiring ITIN should act now to make sure they have a renewed ITIN in
time to file a return during the upcoming tax season. Failure to do so will
result in refund delays and possible loss of eligibility for some tax benefits
until the ITIN is renewed.
