Hello,
I recently got married November 2024. My wife is in the Philippines, a nonresident alien, and she does not qualify for a SSN. I am using Turbo Tax to do my e-file, I selected Married Filing Separately as my status. I selected for wife; she will not file 2024 tax return, we never lived together in 2024, and she is a non resident alien. So far, I feel like everything is done correctly on TurboTax. However when I go back, the box for non resident alien is always unchecked.
Turbo Tax is asking for SSN for my wife. Will my e-file get rejected if left blank?
The process/timing to request a ITIN is long. Will I be able to amend my tax return as Married Filing Jointly once I receive a ITIN for my wife.
At the end of my federal return, Turbo Tax is asking if my wife will take the standard or itemized deduction, even though its not applicable.
Thank you in advance
