My federal return amount is adjusted to $0.00 as my wife ITIN is expired. Both me and my wife are living outside of US now, can I apply my wife ITIN from outside of US?

My federal return amount has been adjusted from thousands to $0.00. I filed joint return with my spouse. When I called IRS they informed me that my wife ITIN is expired and I need apply W7 form to renew it. But both me and my wife are living in out side of US now. Also,  in year 2019 I was living (only last quarter in year) alone in US and my wife was out of the country. In this situation, can I apply my wife ITIN from outside of US?

YES .... attach the return to the W-7 to renew the ITIN.   The IRS will complete the return once the ITIN is processed.
