Filing Tax Return

[Mystique 0]

This might not be the right forum to ask but

Can you apply for a Joint Tax return even if the SSN was not issued the same year you filing Joint return?

In my case her interview date is in end of November but she might come here middle of december so her SSN might come in January which puts into 2009.

Do I need to get an ITIN to file for her Tax return or will I be able to use her SSN issued in 2009 for 2008 tax return?

Use the SSN. It doesn't matter when she got it. An ITIN is only for those who can't get a SSN.

you have until April 15th, 2009 to file your 2008 return so if she gets her SS before that it shouldn't matter.
