Hi all,
Update on my end;
I mailed the W7 + supporting documents & 1040 tax return to ITIN operations in Texas back in June. I received the return back with a green paper from the IRS indicating they needed additional supporting documents (copies of my W2s).
On the 1040, written in red pen by someone from the ITIN office, was my husbands new ITIN number (first time receiving one).
There was no letter or statement explicitly saying, this is the ITIN number or the W7 application for the ITIN has been approved. But I'm going to assume that the W7 forms were processed correctly and the ITIN is a valid number we can use moving forward.
There was a stamp on the 1040 dating the day they received it 'IRS - Austin, Texas, June 27th'. There was also a red stamp 'W7' and another stamp dating when they returned the 1040 back to me '9-21-2020' for additional information.
The only confusion I had was where to mail back the return, whether I should mail it back to the ITIN office;
Internal Revenue Service
Austin Service Center
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX [social security number removed]
Or the address to send Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR Addresses for taxpayers who are non-residents -- https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-addresses-for-taxpayers-and-tax-professionals-filing-form-1...
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Austin, TX 73301-0215
USA
^ I mailed it to the 2nd address, because it seemed like the w7 was approved and all that needed to be processed was the 1040 only. I hope I did the right thing here. I am a US citizen, but my husband is a NRA.
Wish they explicitly mentioned that the ITIN application was approved and now this is my husbands ITIN, but that wasn't stated anywhere. & they were more clear about where to mail the completed 1040 with supporting documents after but -- fingers crossed I get my return later this year!
