I’ve seen news about the IRS and immigration. What does this mean if I’m considering an ITIN?
We understand that this news may cause concern. Recently, the IRS signed an agreement that allows immigration authorities to request tax information in very specific cases, mainly when there is a final deportation order or an active criminal investigation. This does not mean that information for everyone applying for an ITIN will automatically be shared. The IRS is still required to protect taxpayer confidentiality, and any request must follow a legal process.
What should I consider before applying for an ITIN?
Applying for an ITIN is a personal decision. If you have concerns about how this change might affect you, we recommend speaking with a trusted advisor in immigration or tax matters who can guide you based on your situation. At Comun, we are committed to being transparent and providing you with the information you need to make the best decision for yourself.
