The new law states that ITINs that haven\u2019t been used on a federal tax return at least once in the past three years will be invalid for use on a tax return unless renewed by the taxpayer. ITINs issued prior to 2013 will also need to be renewed starting this fall. Taxpayers who do not renew may face refund delays and ineligibility or some tax credits.
