Hi good day to all, I am new member here, I'm so glad that I found this site, I have question about taxes and really need help,. last year my husband file W7 to get ITIN for me I am still In philippines and I do not have SSN , then IRS send my husband my ITIN and this year 2007 I am still in Philippines and it is al,ost time now to file taxes again, our question is Is my ITIN still valid? Does it have expiration? Do we need to file W& again? Please we are so confused..

THANKS in advance..

Phil.

Phil:

Yes, the ITIN is still valid. I assume your husband wants to file jointly with you again, which is perfecly legitimate.

Hi Philomel2007,

When you're husband applied for your ITIN you were in Philippines?
What documents he attached to W-7 for your ITIN?
My wife and kids is also in the Philippines and I want to apply them ITINs so I can claim them as my dependents.


Thanks

The BEST document to attach is a notarized photocopy of their passports.

If those documents are not available, download the W-7 with instructions from Internal Revenue Service (http://www.irs.gov). The instructions tells you which documents will be accepted with the W-7.
