Hi Amy,
Thank you for the quick response. When I am looking at filing Form W-7 at the IRS website, I see this:
3. Supporting documents
Provide proof of foreign status and identity and proof of U.S. residency for dependents with supporting documents.
She does not have proof of U.S. residency as we have never lived in the US since being married (visited once to see family) and are still overseas. In the next two years we will look at getting her a green card/citizenship while still overseas (there is an exception for foreign missionaries) so I could potentially refile the previous years once I have a SS for her. Would that work? My dad talked to a representative with H&R Block and he said that I need to file as a single if she has neither a SS or ITIN. Just wanted to verify since there is contradicting advice. Appreciate the help tremendously!
