Apply ITIN for my wife. How long will it take ?

[Nevada37]

Do you have direct deposit or paper check As they Posted direct deposit should take in this case three weeks and paper check takes little longer one month or two

@Drahsanali92 

Ok ... so the ITIN was issued but that is only the first step.  Next the return is sent to the next department and put in line for processing which for paper returns can take at least 3 months to complete.  You can use the IRS WMR? tool  once a week until you see the return has been entered for processing.   www.IRS.gov/refunds

How long does it take for direct deposit?

[Critter-3]

Once the IRS gives a date of release then a DD usually happens within 3 business days. 

[Drahsanali92]

Well I check it daily and gets disappointed daily lol

How do I get a hold of an IRS agent? I am calling [phone number removed] but neither of the options allow me to speak about the status of my ITIN?

[Critter-3]

Call the IRS at 800-829-1040  between 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

• Choose # for language preference, then listen for brief recorded message about refunds. 
• When prompted, choose option 2 for "personal income tax" (DO NOT choose option 1, "Refund" or you will be sent to an automated line/message and have to start over)
• Next, press the following sequence in order - 1, 3, 2 
• You will then be asked to enter your SSN or EIN twice.  DO NOTHING - JUST WAIT until new menu options are presented.
• Then, press 2, 1, 3   Unless call volume is excessive (at which point you will hear a recording and be disconnected), this sequence will put you in queue for an agent to assist with providing details of an existing payment or installment arrangement.

I saw updated  July 12 that IRS are currently processing Form W-7s that were received in April 2021, That means that if you sent your application on May 31 is not going to be processed until new updated? 

[Critter-3]

Some have posted that the W-7 have been processed in about 8 weeks.  

[Nevada37]

Yes that’s why I am confused I spoke with them and they said 7 to 10

So it is impossible that they still processing April  I wonder if somebody who sent their papers on May got any answer
