Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The program will not automatically e-file your return.  You will be given an option to print and mail your return after you complete your return.  If you are using TurboTax Online, you can complete your tax returns without filing.  If you want to review your return you will need to pay for TurboTax and then you will be able to print your entire return or specific forms/schedules prior to filing.  You will still be able to make changes prior to filing. Follow these steps to print a preliminary copy of our return in TuboTax Online:

 

  • While logged in and working on your return, click on Tax Tools
  • From the drop down menu click on Print Center 
  • Click on Print, save or preview this year's return
  • On the next screen click on "Pay Now
  • You may be prompted to "Go to My Info" if you need to add additional information
  • Submit your payment information and you will be able to print your tax returns

 

Note, you must pay by credit card in order print or preview your preliminary return.  You will not be able to pay using your federal tax return.completing it, you can do so. 

 

You will need to print and mail your Federal return and your state return, with a copy of your federal return attached.  

 

If you don't want to file jointly, you can treat your spouse as a nonresident alien for tax purposes. You will not have to include your spouse’s non-US income on your U.S. tax return. You will have to use the filing status of Married Filing Separately.

Since your wife does not have a Social Security Number or a ITIN, you will need to complete a Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf).  This form will be attached to your tax return.  Turbo Tax does not support the Form W-7.  Tax returns with a Form W-7 should be mailed to the Austin TX address. 

 

A tax return accompanied by one or more W-7 forms cannot be submitted electronically. You can submit it in person at any IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center that performs in-person document reviews; most major cities have such assistance centers, and there is at least one center in every state.

You can also submit tax returns with W-7 forms by mail to:

  • Internal Revenue Service
  • ITIN Operation
  • P.O. Box 149342
  • Austin, TX 78714-9342
