Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @VictoriaD75 

 

I am a resident alien for tax purposes. My wife is a non-resident alien (no SSN, no ITIN). 

Could you please clarify "If your spouse does not have a SSN or ITIN, you cannot file a joint return"? 

 

Shouldn't we be able to file as "married filing joint" and then send that return to IRS to get ITIN for my wife?
