Hi,

My wife and I are e-filing together for the first time.

Summary:

She moved here July 2011 and only worked 1 week here.

We are filing jointly for the benefit of it.

I have entered all of our W2s etc and in the end (using TurboTax) it asks when filing electronically for our electronic signatures using the 4 digit PIN.

I have mine from prior years.

It asks for hers but she doesn't have one. It states that if she doesn't have a PIN, to enter the AGI (adjusted gross income) for her U.S. filing year 2010.

The gotcha is, she didn't live here the previous year, therefore she has nothing to enter there.

I've tried contacting the IRS but there is no live person I can consult with and I can't seem to find any information regarding this scenario.

I thought the next best place would be to see if any of you have been through this and do you know how someone new to the U.S. would go about getting a new PIN to file electronically.

All the best,

Jerry and Fiona.

I had the exact same issue. I had to file a paper return the first year for this reason. The IRS told me I couldn't get a PIN for someone who had never filed before.

Ok. I was beginning to think that might be the case since the information has eluded me.

Thank you very much. Hope you are doing well. We are doing fab and have a little boy due July 3rd. Exciting. What a year 2011 was and 2012 is turning out to be.

Jerry - I used turbo tax for my taxes and the software just instructed to make one up for my wife since she didn't have one. I made one up and filed without any problem. I already received my refund for fed and state. The tax benefit for filing jointly was amazing because wife doesn't have income.

Best wishes!

oh - I e-filed both state and fed!
