The IRS has updated ITIN application requirements for partnership applicants, effective June 1, 2026. If you need an ITIN for your business, here's what you need to know.
The IRS has announced important updates to the ITIN application process for partnership applicants. Effective June 1, 2026, Certified Acceptance Agents (CAAs) submitting Form W-7 applications for clients claiming Exception 1(a) Partnership must include a copy of the portion of the partnership or LLC agreement displaying the partnership's name, employer identification number (EIN), and the applicant's name and signature.
What is an ITIN? An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is issued by the IRS to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. It is used for federal tax purposes only.
Processing times: Allow 7 weeks for the IRS to notify you of your ITIN application status (up to 11 weeks during peak tax season — January 15 through April 30).
Expired ITIN? If your ITIN wasn't used on a federal tax return for the last 3 consecutive years, it has expired. You must renew it before filing. At Matilde's Income Tax, we handle new ITIN applications and renewals — our consultation is always free.
