What is an ITIN?

 

ITIN: 

  • A tax processing number, issued by the IRS for certain resident and non-resident aliens, their spouses and dependents. 
  • All valid ITIN's are a nine-digit number in the same format as the SSN (9XX-8X-XXXX), begins with a "9" and the 4th and 5th digits range from 50 to 65, 70 to 88, 90 to 92, and 94 to 99.
  • Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN's) that haven't been included on a U.S. federal tax return at least once in the last three consecutive tax years will expire.
