Undocumented immigrants have until December 31, 2019 to renew the Taxpayer’s Personal Identification Number, in addition to requesting refunds or exemptions, as established by the Tax Collection Office (IRS).
“Your ITIN may expire before filing a tax return in 2020” warns that office. All ITINs not used in a federal tax return at least once in the last three years will expire on December 31, 2019.
He adds that all ITINs issued before 2013 with average digits of 83.84.85.86 or 87 (Example: 9xx-83-xxxx) will also expire at the end of this year.
The immigrant should receive the CP-48 notice and send his W-7 form to renew the number, which could only have been ignored if the holder already has a Social Security number – because he has Employment Authorization or is a Permanent Resident that allows him to file your tax return by 2020.
Many undocumented immigrants, who lack a Social Security number, use the ITIN to file taxes, but also to receive their reimbursements for their minor dependents (CTC)
However, if you do not renew it on time, you may file a declaration in 2020, but you will not have a refund. It should be remembered that ITINs with average digits 70.71.72.73.74.75.76.77.78.79.80.81, or 82 that expired in 2016, 2017 or 2018 can also be renewed.
Remember to consult a tax preparation expert to complete your procedure correctly.
