I am applying for an ITIN for my spouse as this is our first time filing jointly. I used a CAA for completing the form W-7 and dropped off my federal return. He mailed it to the address mentioned in the instructions :

ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342

When I checked the tracking details it looks like USPS delivered it to zip code 73301. I am not sure if my package got routed due to some issue. Should I inquire with IRS or USPS as to what might have happened?

You should inquire to make sure your application got to the right place. 73301 is the address for a W-7A Application for Adoption Tax Identification Number:

Department of the Treasury

Internal Revenue Service

Austin, TX 73301-0066

Try calling 855-723-2060, ext. 244.

I had used the 78714 address on the mailing envelope and that's what is also present on my USPS receipt. I am not sure if I should check if USPS first before checking with the IRS. Do they generally get mails redirected from one location to another?

I have the exact same issue. I sent it at the end of November with original passport and have heard nothing yet. I finally got through to the IRS after about 10 days of attempting to call them. They have referred my case to ITIN operations as they can’t see the renewal in the system. Someone will get back to me within 30 days. I sent the w-7 to the ITIN operations address but the delivery confirmation says “mail room/reception/front desk” Austin TX 73301. USPS are also looking into it for me. I’m stressed out about it, but I believe that zip code is a virtual zip code for the IRS and hoping that it’s all fine and there are just severe processing delays due to Covid.

I have the same issue. I sent my 1040 forms to be filed with a W-7 application and supporting documents for my spouse to the ITIN operation zip code 78714 and my mail was routed to a 73301 zip code when I tracked it on the USPS website. Is this normal or should I call IRS and USPS and let them know?
