My wife does not yet have a social security number. How can I claim her as a dependant on my taxes?

Apply for her social security card, you will have one before you have to file.

You can get her a Tax ID number

Go to irs.gov and print off form and send it to her to sign and then you mail it and she gets a tax ID number that you can use

You can get an individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN). You should be able to send the ITIN application with the tax return.

K1's are eligible for an SSN, but you have to time it right. Apply at least two weeks after she arrives in the US, and at least two weeks before her I-94 expires. If you miss that window then you'll have to wait until she's got either an EAD or green card. Tax returns aren't due until April.

1. You file married jointly. Your spouse is never a dependent.

2. You must have an SSN to file jointly and for every dependent.

If she is a resident alien, get her an SSN. If not, get her an ITIN.
