Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may wish to consider mailing in extensions to file your return until 10/15/18 and include any balances due with the extensions.  On the extension, in the place for your wife's SSN, you can write in "Applied For."  You should keep a copy of the extensions.   Hopefully, by October your wife will have received her SSN.

Since your wife is not currently eligible to apply for a SSN,  you can still apply for an ITIN with your return should you wish to file now.
