You Should Know
As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we can certify a client’s passport or other original identification documents so that there is no longer a need to risk sending in original documents to the IRS thus simplifying and expediting the process.
No, you should not renew your ITIN if you have or are eligible for an SSN. Please notify us that you have obtained an SSN and no longer need the ITIN by visiting a local IRS office or writing a letter explaining that you have now been assigned an SSN and want your tax records combined. If you write a letter, include your complete name, mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available. The IRS will void the ITIN so it cannot be used by anyone in the future and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with the SSN. Send your letter to: Internal Revenue Service, Austin, TX 73301-0057.
