ITIN for wife

[Shalvi92]

Hi,

I have came to States in October. My husband is on F1 OPT and he is in States since 2016. I have come here on F2 visa i.e. dependent visa. I dont have SSN but i want ITIN for health insurance premium as the field in insurance premium asks for SSN/ITIN. I made application for ITIN in November but it was rejected as they asked me to make application along with tax returns. Please help me to get my ITIN

You husband came into the united states in 2016 with an F-1 OPT Visa. With a F-1 Visa he cannot count his days in the United States for up to five calendar years. He will need to file a Form 1040-NR as a nonresident in 2019.

On your Form 1040-NR if you and your husband are from India and he was a student or business apprentice, he can include you and your children, if any, on the return as dependents. You must be included on the return to use the return to support the W-7 Application for an ITIN. 

TurboTax does not support the Form 1040-NR return. You will need to use Sprintax to file a Form 1040-NR return. If you have questions you can contact Sprintax Help for assistance.
