ITIN application (W-7 IRS form)

[Dan & Juan 12]

I wanted to leave an update here for another poor soul who goes through this process, so that you may know how long it takes ...

We sent in W-7 application and tax return on 28.May, and my husband just received his ITIN yesterday, 26.June.

Just waiting on our tax return to be accepted now ...

What we sent in:

W-7 that husband signed and mailed to me - not notarized or anything

Certified copy of his passport biographical page

A statement which we both signed and dated in which we have written that we would like for husband to be treated as US resident for tax purposes

We also declared in that letter that husband is currently a student, that he had no job in 2008 and therefore no foreign income to declare.

Marriage certificate

Tax return (1040)

w-2 forms for me

Hope this helps, good luck!

I sent mine in with my taxes in April just before deadline and I am still waiting for ITIN AND fedeeral AND state return or notification. the state website says that my tax was received, I didn't have any number to put with that so I included copy of everything I filed with W-7 mailed address. the web says "received manually filing"

My federal I called the number the lady said to wait at least 2 month and most likely more (I waited 2 months already dammit) and that these forms will take a real long time if I sent in April at the peak of season. Do the USCIS NVC and IRS all holiday together why does everything have to take months and months!!!

i have some serious refunds coming need that money!!
