After you file

If you attached Form W-7 to your tax return before filing, the ITIN application is processed and an ITIN is assigned before the tax return is processed.  I would assume the ITIN section's notices to taxpayers advising them of their ITIN are delayed due to the virus.

 

Your tax return is usually processed about 6 weeks after your ITIN is assigned.  If you have received your refund, that is a good sign.

 

See below from the IRS How do I apply for an ITIN?

 

You will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number usually within seven weeks if you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete.
