ITIN expired. Can I still efile and efile the W7

[ssoleman]

My ITIN expired and Im trying to efile my taxes. Do I need to mail them instead this year along with the W7 ITIN renewal form or can I efile and either efile the W7 too or mail only the W7 in for renewal?

 To renew an expiring ITIN, you must submit a completed Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, provide your US federal tax return along with your valid supporting original or certified copies by the issuing agency, identification documents and any other required attachments. Applicants must also select the appropriate reason for needing the ITIN, as outlined in the Form W-7/W-7(SP) instructions. Mail the application to Internal Revenue Service, ITIN Operation, P. O. Box 149342, Austin, TX 78714-9342.

That does not answer my question whether I can still efile?

No, you cannot e-file.  You will have to mail the tax return with the completed W-7 to the address noted.

@ssoleman If you mean you are trying to e-file NOW, you cannot.  E-filing is flat out closed at this time.  E-filing closed after the end of October and the IRS will not re-open e-filing until sometime later in January when they start to accept e-filed 2023 returns.   Unless something changes for the upcoming tax season, it has not been possible for TurboTax users to e-file past year tax returns.   Sometime in January 2024 the IRS will begin to accept 2023 e-files.

No, I mean efile in Jan/Feb/March for the 2023 taxes if my ITIN expired

@ssoleman Did you end up e-filing or mailing it in?
