Detect US_ITIN #9

Closed jmjeffries closed 7 months ago

jmjeffries commented 9 months ago

Individual Taxpayer Identification Number or ITIN for short is an identification number given by the IRS for those who don't have a Social Security Number (SSN) or don't qualify for one. The ITIN acts as an identifier, but only for filing taxes. ITINs are still sensitive information; just like an SSN, you should never give yours out unless required.

You can click on this to learn more about ITINs.

ITINs follow the format (9XX-XX-XXXX) where the 4th and 5th digits range between 50 to 65, 70 to 88, 90 to 92, and 94 to 99.

For example, the number 912-42-4875 would be an invalid ITIN
