Don´t forget to renew your Tax ID number (ITIN).

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. 

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).

The IRS issues ITINs regardless of immigration status, because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code. They do not serve any purpose other than federal tax reporting. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit.

All ITINs not used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three years will no longer be valid for use on a tax return as of Jan. 1, 2017. Additionally, all ITINs issued before 2013 started to expire in 2016. 

You May Need to Renew Your Expired ITIN:

- All ITINs with middle digits 78 or 79 (9NN-78-NNNN and 9NN-79-NNNN) expired Dec. 31, 2016.

-All ITINs not used to file a U.S. tax return at least once for tax years 2013, 2014 or 2015 expired Dec. 31, 2016.

Only taxpayers who will be included on a U.S. tax return in 2017 need to renew their ITIN. Timely renewal of ITINs will help avoid processing delays.
