How to Check My ITIN Status from Egypt

If you’ve recently applied for a U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and are wondering whether your application has been approved, you’re not alone. Many applicants in Egypt face long waiting periods and uncertainty after sending in their forms.

At Precision Accounting Intl, we understand how important your ITIN is for tax filing, opening U.S. bank accounts, or conducting international business. That’s why we’ve created this easy step-by-step guide to help you check your ITIN status from Egypt — and what to do if your approval seems delayed.

Why It’s Important to Check Your ITIN Status

Your ITIN is essential if you’re a non-U.S. resident who needs to report income, claim a refund, or file U.S. taxes without a Social Security Number. Delays or errors in processing your ITIN can cause:

• Missed U.S. tax filing deadlines
• Delays in receiving tax refunds
• Complications when opening or maintaining U.S. bank accounts (Can I Open a Bank Account with ITIN?)
• Problems with real estate or investment reporting

By regularly checking your ITIN status, you can make sure your application was received, identify issues early, and avoid long-term delays.

Step 1: Confirm When You Submitted Your Application

Start by confirming the exact date your ITIN application was submitted. If you applied through Precision Accounting Intl, this information is recorded and provided to you for easy reference.

The processing timeline begins once the IRS receives your Form W-7 and supporting documents. Typically, applications from Egypt take several weeks due to international handling — so knowing your submission date helps you track the expected timeline accurately.

Step 2: Understand the Standard Processing Time

In most cases, ITIN applications take around 6 to 12 weeks to process, depending on when and how the documents were submitted.

• During the busy U.S. tax season (January–April), it may take slightly longer.
• If you applied through an IRS-certified Acceptance Agent like Precision Accounting Intl, the verification and review process is faster and safer — since your documents are verified locally and submitted directly to the IRS.

If you haven’t received any communication after this period, it’s time to check your ITIN status.

Step 3: Contact the IRS ITIN Unit

The most direct way to check your ITIN application status is by contacting the IRS ITIN Unit. When you call, make sure you have the following details ready:

• Your full legal name (as shown on your passport and Form W-7)
• Date of birth
• Mailing address used in the application
• The date you or your agent submitted your ITIN application

If your application has been approved, the IRS will confirm the date your ITIN was issued and when you can expect to receive your official ITIN notice by mail.

Step 4: Follow Up Through Your Acceptance Agent

If you applied through Precision Accounting Intl, you don’t have to contact the IRS yourself. Our team handles all follow-ups and status tracking directly on your behalf.

As an authorized Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA), we can:

• Confirm that your application has been received and is under review
• Follow up on any pending or delayed cases
• Notify you as soon as your ITIN has been approved or if additional information is needed

This saves you time and ensures clear communication throughout the process.

Step 5: Recognize the Common IRS Notices

Once your ITIN application has been reviewed, you will receive one of several official letters from the IRS:

• Approval Letter (CP565): Confirms that your ITIN has been successfully assigned.
• Information Request (CP566): Indicates that additional documents or clarification are needed before approval.
• Rejection Notice (CP567): Explains why your application was not approved and what steps to take to reapply.

If you work with Precision Accounting Intl, we review any notice you receive and guide you on the exact next steps to resolve the issue quickly.

Step 6: Check If Your ITIN Is Still Active

If you already have an ITIN from a previous year, you may need to check whether it’s still valid.
Your ITIN can expire if:

• It hasn’t been used on a U.S. tax return for three consecutive years
• It was issued several years ago and falls into an expired sequence of ITIN numbers

Expired ITINs can lead to tax filing issues or rejected returns, so it’s best to confirm your ITIN status before tax season begins.

Our specialists can help you verify and renew your ITIN if it’s no longer active — without restarting the entire application process.

Step 7: Track Progress and Store All Documentation

Keep digital and physical copies of your:

• ITIN application (Form W-7)
• Passport and identification used for verification
• Any correspondence or IRS notices (CP565, CP566, CP567)
• Submission receipts or acknowledgment emails

This makes future renewals, tax filings, or updates much easier — and ensures no details are lost if you change addresses or agents.
