Are you someone that worries? Well forget that meteor heading toward earth, ignore the atom bomb counting down in your basement, and disregard that hungry lion prowling the hallway: you might have to renew your ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)!
More than 2 million ITINs will expire at the end of the year, and to stave off this looming disaster of historic and unprecedented proportions, the IRS is recommending that you renew your ITIN now instead of waiting! Hurry, it’s urgent!
You know your ITIN is set to expire if the middle digits are 73,74, 75, 76, 77, 81, or 82, even if you’ve used it in the last three years. ITINs with middle digits 78 and 79 expired last year, so you’ll need to renew those too, if you have them. See this link for more information on renewing your ITIN. https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/how-do-i-renew-my-itin
Now, you might be thinking, why is this so important? Why is it so essential? What vast power do these mysterious ITINs hold? Well, wonder no more, because ITINs are used to file your taxes when you can’t get a SSN. Incredible!
That’s important! . . . Seriously! Well, you should check your ITIN to make sure it’s not expiring anyway.
