Effective January 19, 2024, the IRS has resumed processing applications for individuals to become Certified Acceptance Agents (CAAs), using a modernized, electronic application process. CAAs can receive and process documentation for individuals applying for Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) so that they do not have to send their vital documents by mail to the IRS. PIF has found that community-based CAAs, combined with immigrant-friendly VITA sites and trained community outreach workers, can greatly improve immigrant families’ access to tax credits for their families.
