Apply ITIN for my wife. How long will it take ?
You need to apply for the ITIN together with your return and send it to the ITIN operations center.
See the instructions of form W7.
Form W7:
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf
Instructions for Form W7:
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw7.pdf
Once the ITIN is assigned, they will forward your return for processing and send you a letter with the ITIN.
Getting the ITIN takes about 6 weeks. Processing the return can take another month or two.
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/General-ITIN-Information
How and when can I expect to receive my ITIN?
If you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete,
you will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification
number usually within six weeks. If you have not received your ITIN or
other correspondence six weeks after applying, call the IRS toll-free
number at 1-800-829-1040 to request the status of your application if
you are in the United States. If you are outside the United States, call
267-941-1000 (not a toll-free number).

send these forms (w7 and Federal return 1040 form) by post or by visiting any IRS center. First you will get ITIN number in 6-10 weeks by post from IRS, then IRS will directly deposit you federal tax refund in 4 weeks after that.
I submitted my docs on 22nd February and received the ITIN for my wife and child on 28th March through post. Now waiting for Federal return. Not sure how to check the status of my refund in this case

Hello,
I filed MFJ with my husband who needed an ITIN. We recently received our tax refund but no ITIN.
What can we do?

If you attached Form W-7 to your tax return before filing, the ITIN application is processed and an ITIN is assigned before the tax return is processed. I would assume the ITIN section's notices to taxpayers advising them of their ITIN are delayed due to the virus.
Your tax return is usually processed about 6 weeks after your ITIN is assigned. If you have received your refund, that is a good sign.
See below from the IRS How do I apply for an ITIN?
You will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number usually within seven weeks if you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete.

Hi All,
I applied for the ITIN for my wife and kids on Feb 18th 2020 and filed my federal tax return along with it physically in the IRS office. Its almost 7 weeks and we haven't received the ITIN or the returns until now. Tried calling the IRS toll free number but the offices are closed due to COVID-19. Should I be worried ?

You can call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040 if you are in the United States or 267-941-1000 (not a toll-free number) if you are outside the United States. This service allows you to check the status of your application seven weeks after submitting Form W-7 and your tax return.

Hi
I have to send my daughter's passport with W-7 application( to apply ITIN number) as well as my federal tax return. I wonder IRS Austin Service Center is closed due to COVID-19? I called IRS number but no one answer due to COVID- 19. If I send a passport, they will do process W-7 application?

I would not recommend sending the passport until you get confirmation that the ITINs are actively being processed and the Austin TX service center is operational- you may need the passport for travel,
