The IRS urges prompt action for some filers

Taxpayers who have expired Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) and who need to file tax returns this season must act fast to renew their ITINs, as the renewal applications can take up to 11 weeks to process. ITINs are used by those who have federal tax obligations but don’t qualify for a Social Security Number. Among the numbers that expired in 2017 are those with middle digits of 70, 71, 72, and 80 or ITINs that haven’t been used on a return in the past three years. Learn more at http://bit.ly/2ErXe0i
