So, I am dealing with the same situation right now. Will I be able to amend my 2022 tax returns as I filed single cause my spouse was still waiting for her SSN to be assigned from immigrations. If you guys did not know, when you file a permanent resident application, you have to option to apply for a SSN during that time also on the application, which is what we did. So, we could not apply for an ITIN for tax purposes as our application was already pending with immigrations during tax time.
You must amend your 2022 return to either married filing jointly or married filing separately. However, if there were tax benefits that required that both spouses have an SSN at the time of filing, those benefits probably won't be paid. (The only thing I can think of is EITC.)
