Hi All,

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. My husband is here, and has received his permanent res card. His SSN never came, so we went to the local office today, and it will be at our home in 7-10 days. My question is, how should I file my taxes for 2008? I of course want to get the largest rebate possible. Should I file Married, Joint, and if so, how? Do they just need social security number for my husband? On my paperwork for work, I claimed Single because the form said I had to. I'm confused, and I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I couldn't get a clear answer by going through the forums.

Thanks!

We filed through H&R Block and you should take both SSN and your husband's green card. They will need your husband's Alien number while filing taxes.

And yes you can file jointly.
