Hello
I am in a similar situation. My wife arrived in the US early this year after which we married. She is waiting for her green card yet and can't get her SSN until she has it. She does not have any income to report either in the US or from her home country. Can we file separately without her having a SSN or an ITIN, since she has no income does she even need to file? Or will TurboTax allow me to file my taxes since I did not enter her SSN or ITIN?
If she does have to have an ITIN, what is the fastest way to file, apply for it and wait 6-8 weeks then file online? Or should we mail our return along with the W-7 form?
Thank you
