Are there any examples of the letter/statement for making the choice?
What is the identification number of each spouse? SSN, ITIN, Passport #?
Nonresident spouse does not have SSN/ITIN and will apply for one during filing. What identification number should be used in the choice statement?
Thanks

Attach a statement, signed by both spouses, to your joint return for the first tax year for which the choice applies. It should contain the following information:
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Keep it very simple!
Get a piece of paper
Print your name, address, and social security number
Print spouse name, address, information
space on paper
Then something simple like, "We declare that on the last day ......" following #1 listed above.
Both sign the return.
Nonresident spouse has no SSN or ITIN yet. Should it be left blank on the statement?
You can just enter NRA for their SSN or ITIN since they do not have one yet.
