You have three consecutive years to use your ITIN at least once on a federal tax return—as a filer or as a dependent—before it expires due to non-use.

You can renew your ITIN for free by filling out a Form W-7 and submitting the required documentation.  Your W-7 application can be submitted via mail to the IRS, or you can call and make an appointment at a designated IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.

Here are some helpful answers to some common questions about renewing your ITIN.

You can ignore that message from TurboTax.  It is looking at the middle numbers for the ITIN that expired if the ITIN was issued before 2013, the message is in error if your ITIN was issued at any time after 2013.

@daniel-dennison  here is a reference item from the IRS --> Publication 5257 (en-sp) (Rev. 2-2021) (irs.gov)

 As @DoninGA  said TurboTax may be wrong in flagging  ITIN as expired --- this document suggests that IRS will contact you in writing when an ITIN is about to expire etc.   Please read through this document --- it is also available  in multiple languages  .

Hope this helps
