To file 1040 as a resident for tax purposes, you will need to apply for a ITIN (assuming that you are not eligible for a Social Security number).
You will include a signed Form W-7 and original or certified copies of required identification information. If you don't wish to send original documents with your tax return, you can find a Certifying Acceptance Agent near you to assist with the identity verification process. A list of these can be found HERE.
