I'm working in the US with an L1 Visa and my wife has a L2 Visa, so she doesn't have a SSN or ITIN. I want to file my taxes jointly. I went to the IRS webpage and it says that i have to mail the W-7 form attached to the taxes return form.  We have a kid that does have a SSN

Is it possible to use turbotax to fill everything and print the taxes retrun form to be able to mail it with the W-7 form?

Ok so, if it's the case, would i still get the refound through TurboTax or it would it eed to be done directly with the IRS?

Your return is filed and processed by the IRS, as is the W-7 application. So your refund would come from the IRS.

Yes, you can print your return completed in TurboTax, sign, and mail it with the Form W-7 as instructed by the IRS.

Print a copy of your return using these instructions: 

Once printed, the tax return can be finalized and attached to Form W-7 to request a tax identification number for your spouse.

We recommend that you hand-carry the completed documents to your local IRS office with necessary documentation for a better outcome. You may also consider using an agent to process the W-7 application.
