Hi! I am an Indonesian citizen, just married to a US active duty military member on Nov 2021. During the year of 2021 I was living in the Netherlands on a student visa and then working for 3.5 months on a work permit. I moved to the US to get married to him and now we are living together (only 2 of us). So I have no SSN nor ITIN. But during 2021 I have investment income in Indonesian bank account and I also have Dutch income during the 3.5 months (not much, approximately $9900. Due to a lot of travel expenses and marriage administration costs, we are having financial trouble, especially since I am not able to work yet until I get my immigration status adjusted. Therefore we are trying to married jointly to get an access to tax deduction benefit. As I understand, I need to file for ITIN, which we will do it soon. Do you have any tips or advice? We are a bit lost here. Thank you in advance
