Since she had no income, she is not required to file a tax return. If you do decide to file a tax return for your daughter, she will file as Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separate. No matter what filing status you decide, you will need to apply for an ITIN for your son-in-law.
You will need to apply for his ITIN when you mail in the return. To apply for the ITIN follow the steps below:
- Fill out Form W-7 and attach it to your return, as well as all necessary documentation.
- Mail the return to the address specified in the Form W-7 instructions.
- TurboTax will give you an error regarding the missing Social Security number. You can ignore the error since you’re printing your return.
