Administration of the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number Program

Review the 910 ITINs we identified that were not deactivated as required and revoke or deactivate them as appropriate.

Review the 2,118 ITINs we identified that were deactivated in error and reactivate as appropriate.

Ensure that the taxpayers associated with the 2,118 ITINs who had a tax return rejected because their ITIN was no longer valid receive the benefits to which they are entitled.

Evaluate whether extending the six-month holding period for original identification documents will improve the identification of a better return address and reduce the number of applicants who request documents that have been destroyed or returned to an embassy.

Ensure that existing processes and procedures for researching IRS systems for a better address to use in returning loose original supporting documents are being followed.
