TWO MILLION TAX ID NUMBERS TO EXPIRE

Two million tax id numbers to expire. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a reminder to taxpayers with an expiring Individual taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to submit renewal applications.

SSNs and ITINs are intended to be used only for tax and benefit purposes, but since banks, schools, and insurance companies use them as identification numbers, more folks want them for non-tax purposes. Only a quarter of ITINs assigned since the program began in 1996 have been used to file tax returns. Concerns about TTINs misuse spurred changes, including a law that now allows ITINs to expire. Nearly 2 million ITINs are set to expire at the end of 2019. As part of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act, ITINs that have not been used on a federal tax return at least once in the last three years are not valid for use on a tax return unless renewed by the taxpayer. Expirations also occur on a rotating cycle: ITINs with middle digits 83,84,85,86,87 (like 9NN-83-NNNN) that have not already been renewed will also expire at the end of the year.
