Wait until you receive an ITIN if you have already applied for one.
In answering your question, I’m assuming you want to file your federal tax return without an ITIN. This can cause a problem. You will have to file by mail without a Social Security number or ITIN. IRS says it will take could take four weeks or more to process your return if you file by mail.
If you get an ITIN during that period, your return will not match and may be pulled for special processing, further delaying your refund, which can take months.
With an ITIN you can e-file.
The deadline for filing your federal taxes is April 18.
