Do you file tax returns using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security number (SSN)? If so, be sure it’s up to date before filing. In general, ITINs are used by certain resident and nonresident aliens, their spouses, and dependents who aren’t eligible for SSNs. If your ITIN has expired, the IRS will still accept your return. However, you could face delays, especially if you’re receiving a refund due to credits such as the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Also, if your name has changed since you originally applied for your ITIN, you must update it with the IRS. Renew or update using the IRS Online Account tool: bit.ly/4en0t8W
