I’ve seen people say that you can put NRA, but I was told that even if filing separately he still needs an ITIN. Is that not true? Honestly, my tax guy back home was uncertain as they don’t usually deal with foreign marriage stuff. My main concern was wondering if he could actually apply for the ITIN now instead of me having to send his W7 with my return next year. Because the wording is confusing, the IRS site says you have different options, send the application with your tax return or apply at a certified agency but it also says new applications must be sent with your return. If I could put NRA that would be wonderful because there isn’t a need for him to have anything to do with US taxes at this point as we have no US income and no plans to return as of yet.
