Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct forums to post this in. I had a question with regards to filing my taxes for 2011. I use Turbotax to do my taxes and since we're are now married, I updated my filing status to Married Filing Separately on turbotax. But since she isn't the US yet and thus has no SS number, can I claim her on my taxes?

I believe you can, but you'll have to submit a W-7 for her, unless she already has a SSN or ITIN. You turn this in with your 1040 package. You cannot file electronically this year if this is the case.
