I will be applying for an ITIN for me wife. We have married, but she is still waiting for green card and does not have a SSN. The way I read it I will apply for the ITIN as part of my filing. What do I put in the SSN field for my spouse?
Enter "Applied For" in the social security number slot under the Personal Info tab, if that doesn't allow you to proceed to file by mail try the SSNs shown below. If you use numbers, be sure to white them out after print before mailing your return.
Prepare a Form W7, for each person who needs an ITIN, then include it with the required documentation with your return. File the return to this address.
Internal Revenue Service . ITIN Operation . PO Box 149342 . Austin TX 78714-9342
FYI, this applies to the current tax year, 2016. Follow these steps to prepare your return for mailing.
