If you are completing the form and not filing the return, you will need to print the form and mail it to:
Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
If you don't want to mail your documents to the IRS, you may be eligible to use an IRS-authorized Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) via the IRS Acceptance Agent Program or make an appointment as a designated IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC) location (which you can find using the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC) Locations Where In-Person Document Review is Provided webpage.

A return filed with an expired ITIN will be processed, but any credits claimed applicable to the expired ITIN will not be allowed. The taxpayer will receive a notice from the IRS explaining the change(s) made to their tax return and that the ITIN must be renewed. Once the ITIN is renewed, any credits previously not allowed will be reconsidered at that time. Until the ITIN is renewed, the taxpayer will be subject to interest and penalties for any tax owed because of disallowed credits.

Once an ITIN is assigned, it belongs to that taxpayer, unless the ITIN has been revoked. When an individual renews their ITIN, the previously assigned number is renewed.
