When Do Indonesians Need to Renew Their ITIN?
- Unused for 3 years — ITIN expires if not used on a US federal tax return for 3 consecutive years.
- Expired middle digit groups — IRS periodically deactivates ITIN groups by middle digit number.
- Expired ITIN = no treaty benefit — An expired ITIN cannot be used to claim Indonesia's US treaty rates on W-8BEN.
- Same renewal process — Renewal uses the same Form W-7, submitted by a CAA.
- Update all platforms — After renewal, update your ITIN on Amazon, AdSense, Upwork, Fiverr, and other platforms.
⚠️ Only an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) Can Certify Your Documents
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your documents, file your W-7 directly with the IRS, and track your application. No original passport mailing required.
How ITIN Renewal Works for Indonesians
If your ITIN was issued years ago and you haven't filed a US federal tax return using it for 3+ years, it may have expired. An expired ITIN cannot be used to claim Indonesia's US tax treaty benefits on W-8BEN forms — US payers revert to the 30% default rate.
ITIN Plus handles renewal using the same Form W-7 process, certifies your updated documents as a CAA, and submits directly to the IRS. Renewal fee: $199. Processing: 8–14 weeks. Email apply@itinplus.com to check if your ITIN is still active.
