Oct/2016 - Received a letter from IRS stating that my wife and 3 kids ITINs are expiring even though I’ve used them every year for the last 17 years. Kids have no passports so after weighing costs decide to get youngest his driver’s license so we could use as ID for W7 application (other kids already have them)
Mid Nov/2016 – Got company name for local Acceptance Agent from IRS website and paid them to do applications and make certified copies of birth certificates and driver’s license and mailed everything to IRS
Dec 20/2016 – Receive letter from IRS stating certified copies were rejected and new ID would be required to continue the applications. After we mailed them they changed the rules I’m told from the Acceptance Agent.
Jan 4/2017 – After weighing our options we sent the kids original birth certificates and driver’s license via UPS with signature required
Jan 9/2017 – IRS accepted delivery
Feb 10/2017 – Received a letter from IRS stating that since we never sent in the ID (See Jan 9) they were going to cancel the applications on Mar 13/2017
Since then I call every Monday and get the same BS, they haven’t received what they need.
Mar 14/17 – Called IRS and yup they canceled the applications and sent rejection letter. No idea where my kids ID is.
We are now in the process of first placing their birth certificates so we can and get their passports. I have no idea how to move forward on filing my taxes. I cannot believe the incompetence of the IRS. I guess I could file for an extension but I don’t know how to handle my Canadian taxes now since there’s no way I’ll get everything done before tax day
