You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
It depends. According to the IRS, "If your spouse is neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. resident within the meaning of IRC section 7701(b)(1)(A) and you file a joint or separate return, your spouse must have either a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)".
This is contrary to what you were told.
Thanks @DaveF1006
I am not sure which point or aspect you were referring to ?
Per your understanding what would be my filing status, and how should I go about "e-filing" ?
The only point I was trying to make is you can file Married Filing Separately if your wife does obtain a ITIN. If you are looking at Filing Married Filing Jointly, I would suggest filing Married Filing jointly.
In either case, you won't be able to file electronically in either instance without having a SSN or ITIN issued to your wife.
Still have questions?
