Hello PK @pk ,
Once again thanks a lot for your support:
Below are the details:
1. I am based in US from Sep - 2008.
2. My wife was in US from Sep - 2008 Till Feb -2016
3. In Feb 2016 she along with my 2 kids (one US citizen and one Indian citizen) moved back to India.
4. She is not working in India and has no source of income, i send money to her on monthly basis for supporting her and my kids.
5. Since the time she moved to India, she visited US only in May-2019 which is this year.
6. In future definitely we have plans to bring her and the kids back to US, probably in sometime in next 2-3 years timeframe.
7. Till now i was using her ITIN on my tax returns and filing returns as "Married Filing jointly" regularly.
8. I will be in US for next 5 yrs minimum not sure of the plans after that, might stay longer as well.
But now since her ITIN is getting expired on 01/2020, I need help as for renewal of ITIN i need her original passport to be sent to IRS which is difficult since she is back in india.
Can you pls help if i can use her ITIN which is expiring on 01/2020 to electronically file her returns and will turbo tax system accept the return with expired ITIN number.
Regards
