We have a daughter that was born in 2017.

She does not have a social security number yet. We have an appointment with the Consulate but will not have it by the 15 April filing deadline.

What can we do?

You may be allowed an automatic 2-month extension of time to file your return and pay any federal income tax that is due. You will be allowed the extension if you are a U.S. citizen and on the regular due date of your return you are living outside of the United States and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States. This will extend to June 15th.

If you do not have the social security number by then you can also request for the regular 6 month extension, just be sure to pay if you will have any tax due by the June 15th deadline.
