Hello there,
If your spouse is a nonresident
alien and you file a joint or separate return, your spouse must have either a
Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
(ITIN). To get an SSN for your spouse, apply at a social security office or US
consulate. You must complete Form SS-5. You must also provide original or
certified copies of documents to verify your spouse's age, identity, and
citizenship. If your spouse is not eligible to get an SSN, he or she can file
Form W-7 with the IRS to apply for an ITIN. Refer to Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) for more information.
Also, If she does not have a
social security number or an ITIN number, you will not be able to e-file, but
you can mail in your return.
