For this, you will need to reach out to the IRS directly.  

 

To call the IRS: 800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

  • Listen to each menu before making the selection.
  • First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
  • Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
  • Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
  • Then press 3 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

Thank you!

 

I reached out to IRS over phone and spoke to the agent. She mentioned that IRS sent a letter to ask for more information on my wife W7 form (Which i never received in mailbox) and as you have not replied to that notice, your W7 is rejected. However, ITIN services will send the Return to IRS office for processing with standard deduction. 

 

- How can i get that notice as I never saw it?

- What will happen to the federal return if W7 is rejected due to some reason?

- How should i proceed this year with the return? Should i apply W7 and 2021return again?

You could send a W-7 with your 2021 return.

 

Contact an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center to get a copy of your previous notice about your W-7 application.

 

If your W-7 is rejected for 2021, your return may be processed as Married Filing Separately as your prior return was.
