It would be worth the time to challenge and send the amendment again with all the required documentation along with your W-7 and letter of receipt of the ITIN if you have it now. Amended returns must be filed within three years of the due date of the original return or two years after the tax is paid, whichever is later.
How do I amend my tax return for my ITIN number?
In cases where a current year tax return has already been filed that excluded a spouse or dependent who needs an ITIN, the taxpayer should complete Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, showing the ITIN applicant's information, and attach it to Form W-7.
You can also try the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). They are in place to assist in situations where you are unable to obtain resolution on your own.
- You can click here to begin: TAS Qualifier Tool. or
- Submit a request for assistance - Form 911 Request for TAS Assistance (instructions are included)
- Locate the local TAS Office for your area
This will get the process started for you. It's not going to be a fast process because they are handling a large volume at this time.
If you do not hear from TAS within one week of submitting Form 911, contact the Taxpayer Advocate office where you originally submitted your request. Incomplete information or requests submitted to a Taxpayer Advocate office outside of your geographical location may result in delays.
