Many Thanks PJ and right on with the 'Ji' :-).
I will go ahead with filing as you suggested. The TIN number helps with tax deduction not just for dependent care expenses. Since mother has been dependent upon me in 2022 and stayed with us, I should be able to claim her as a dependent, even if there were no dependent care expenses. I believe the suggestion for writing a dummy TIN Number would apply to this situation as well. The tax would then filed in paper along with W-7 request for TIN. Right?
Currently I have taxes due. Will turbotax allow me to pay the taxes electronically before the deadline of April 18th and file a paper return? I just don't want to be late in payment and incur penalties.
