How do we File this year's taxes? As single or married?

[GS4EVER 0]

why do they have to make things so difficult when you are married??? Its no wonder why people just shack up and have a few kids. You make out better at the end of the year

I agree so not fair K1 is getting approved before we do! Since when being legally married to someone can delay their arrival home and being unmarried and simply engaged allows you to enter the US quicker??? I realize those coming in with K 1 still have to go through their adjustment of status and I would take that choice any day had I not been told that with K3 my husband will enter in 6 mons! What a waste of money! Seeing as how the I 130 and K 3 are being approved together, I am starting to wonder if this is a ploy to gather fees when nothing has changed in the process. We should all get a refund! And now it's further complicated cz of taxes...urghhhhhhhh

7 months today and it's starting to become ridiculous......... And I know there have been people waiting longer than us so I try to stay focused and not freak out as much.

I will post as soon as I have a response from my lawyer.

Hang in there everyone

You guys rock!!.

I am planning to file W-7 with my tax return . The problem I have is that my wife does not work and have absolutely no income. What do I do , I read the 519 from IRS but it does not point to any form. The other thing is that I have copies of her passport but they are not notarized.

Question 1.

What do I do in the situation where My wife dont have any income. Any one know any form number etc

You should probably file MFJ with your wife getting an ITIN, also follow Pub 519 and claim her as a full time resident in the US. Her foreign income will be taxed but in your case that is 0.

Q 2

Will the tax form with MFJ need to be signed by her?

Yes and the W7 for the ITIN.

I am so frustrated by these taxes , if i files MFS I loose so much money. Please help!
