Hello, I had the same thing. I applied for my husband's w-7 together with my 2019 return on Feb 2020 as married filing jointly. Due to covid, received the rejection notice (dated march 30, 2020) on July 15, 2020. There was a missing information on the W-7. The rejection notice told me to complete a new W-7 form and include only a "copy" of the tax return. IRS has already processed that return though and the refund was adjusted to the "single" status filing rate. Instead of reapplying with the old tax return and waiting for the itin assignment before filing an amended return, can I just submit the W-7 reapplication with an amended tax return so that when ITIN is assigned, it will automatically be processed by IRS using that new ITIN? So as to save the time of waiting the ITIN assignment letter and only submitting an amended return at that time. Appreciate your help on this one, thanks.
