<<In other words, suppose I filed jointly and my income is below the max phase out limit for joint fillers, but above the max phase out limit for single fillers. In such a case, which limit applies to me if my spouse has an ITIN, and so is ineligible for stimulus payments ? ... It's a simple question and I'm not sure why this discussion is discussing other stuff but this question.>>
The limit that applies to you is the 'married filing joint' limit - because that is how you are filing. That is the simple answer and is documented by the IRS worksheet for the Recovery Credit. I provided that link in an earlier thread.
It does not matter if your spouse has an ITIN or an SS#, the critical is that you are married, filing joint. (and you can NOT file 'single' or HOH..you could file "separate" but it won't buy you anything if your income is above $75,000)
here is the worksheet snippet the IRS uses to determine the limit.
