At the end of 2020, anyone with an ITIN that has the middle numbers 88, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99 will need to file for renewal if they haven’t done so already. Last year, ITINs with the middle numbers 83 through 87 expired, and those with 73 through 77, 81, and 82 expired in 2018.

What ITIN numbers need to be renewed in 2020?

At the end of this year (2020), ITINs with the middle digits 88, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99 are set to expire, so if you haven’t already, start the renewal process if your ITIN includes these numbers, as you won’t be able to properly file your returns next year otherwise.

How long does the ITIN last?
