ITIN APPLICATIONS & RENEWALS
The tax sites assist with ITIN applications and ITIN renewals.
The following ITINs must be renewed:
– ITINs with middle digits 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, or 82 must be renewed before you file for any year.
– ITINs that have not been used for any of the past three years (e.g. 2015, 2016, and 2017) must be renewed before you file for any year.
If your ITIN’s middle digits are 83, 84, 85, 86, or 87, it will expire 12/31/2019. You can renew now or during the next filing season. Since it is not yet expired, the renewal does not have to be done today in order to file your 2018 or prior-year return. Once it has expired, you will need to renew it in order to file for any year.
Eligibility
At the Prosper Center, we prepare taxes for individuals and families who make less than $55,000 annually. If there are more than four people in your household, then your income eligibility increases by $5,000 for each additional family member.
