I plan on filling MFJ. We married in June 2019. She is from Brazil and we are going through the immigration process. She has very little income if any and what little she does make goes to Brazil for her 3 kids, so Basically I fully support her here. She does not have a social yet which I believe is needed in tax purposes just an AT number.
How do I file? Do we still get the married tax credit?
If you are a US citizen or US resident and your spouse does not have a Social Security number or an ITIN and you are not applying for an ITIN with the tax return then you can only file your tax return as Married Filing Separately. Where asked to enter the spouse's Social Security number enter 999-88-9999. You can only print and mail your tax return, it cannot be e-filed. When you print the tax return erase the Social Security number for your spouse and manually enter NRA for non-resident alien.
