The tax form you let me complete is Illegal to file. You didn't ask me what country was my foreign spouse from or if she had obtained residency. only after going to the W-7 IRS form did I learn that. I need this return canceled. I know I printed it but it's useless and I paid you $54 direct debit. I want a refund or allow me to update my tax return now that I have the correct information from the IRS.
Your form questions should ask when a person selects a foreign soil as the home of the dependent, what country is it. Or it should say that only foreign located dependents with a green card can be claimed unless they are from Mexico or Canada.
Your document:
My wife does not have a SSN or ITIN,
how can I apply for taxes?
Here's how to first
apply to a ITIN (TurboTax Instructions follow):
Use the latest revision
of Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number to apply. Attach a valid federal
income tax return, unless you qualify for an exception, and include your
original proof of identity or copies certified by issuing agency and foreign
status documents.
Because you are filing your tax return as an attachment to your ITIN application,
you should not mail your return to the address listed in the Form 1040, 1040A
or 1040EZ instructions. Instead, send your return, Form W-7 and proof of
identity and foreign status documents to:
Internal Revenue Service
Austin Service Center
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX xxxxx-xxxx
You may also apply using the services of an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent or visit some key
IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in
lieu of mailing your information to the IRS in Austin. Taxpayer Assistance
Centers (TACs) in the United States provide in-person help with ITIN
applications on an appointment basis only. The IRS's ITIN Unit in Austin issues
all numbers through the mail.
