I have ITIN number. What is next?

This is the number you will input when TurboTax asks for the Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number.

Hi @AlexanderS08 ,

Once I have put ITIN number of my wife in Turbotax. Can I efile it instead to mail it the federal tax return and state tax return? I ask this because in order to get the ITIN number I had to print my federal tax return together with the W7 form and sent them to IRS in Texas and I am not sure if this was only to get the ITIN number or also to request my tax return. Another expert told me that requesting ITIN number is a separate process and I have to resend the federal tax return again.

Thanks

Once the ITIN has been issued, you should be able to e-file your returns.

I am assuming that you filed the W7 last year with a 2018 tax return.

If you filed the W7 this year with a 2019 Tax return, there is no need to e-file the tax return, you filed when you sent the return to Austin TX. You may still have to file your state return, you will probably have to mail that return in as well.
