Foreign Earned Income exclusion
During Calendar year 2022 my foreign fiancé arrived in the United States , We married and are now looking to organize our documents for filing taxes next year!
Our situation is this my wife has filed for permanent residency and been issued a social security card. She earned a small amount of money (about 10K) in her home country (Philippines) and based on what I read we plan to take the earned income exclusion! She would meet the physical presence test. (August to August) Based on what I have read (thank you experts of the T/T community) I would need to complete my Tax return print it and mail it with a IRS form W-7 (request for an ITIN) to the IRS.
The Question I have is do I need to file the W-7 form if she has already received a social security card and do I have to mail it in if she is not required to file a W-7!
Thanks in advance
