My son and my wife will have their social security numbers in May.

My wife and son will receive their Social Security numbers in May due to her asylum application. What should I do in this situation? Should I file now or request an extension until October? Thank you in advance for your response.

Yes, you should file for an extension and use your wife's and son's SSN to file your tax return.

An extension will allow you to file until October 15, 2026.

This is an extension to file your tax return, not an extension to pay your taxes. You must estimate your taxes due and pay them by April 15, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest.

You can use TurboTax to e-file an extension by clicking here.
