husband went abroad before receiving his SSN, how pay his tax?

[mitra 0]

Hi guys,

I'm a USC.My husband just got his greencard and immediately went abroad without waiting for his SSn. After 40 days I called the office close to where i live and they said that he should be present in the office with his birth certificate in order to request for a SSN.

My problem right now is the fact that i want to pay my taxes(jointly) but i don't know how to do that without his SSN. he won't return before May and his income is totaly from abroad.

how can he seperately or jointly pay his taxes?

thanks for any insight

get a tax extension from the irs.gov good until oct 2013 so you won't have to pay late charges or intrest,

I am no tax expert at all, so I don't want you to take this for anything more than a possibility to look into, but have you considered requesting an extension? From what I can tell, you may want to pay any estimated tax you think you will owe (if you are getting a refund it won't matter), but you should be able to figure out the taxes without the SSN and pay the estimated amount, while filing the extension to give you more time to actually file.

Here's a link to the IRS site (at least what I think may be pertinent to you)

Hopefully this helps, and perhaps some people with more personal experiences can be of more assistance.

So he has been abroad since 2011? That will present a problem when removing conditions. He is supposed to keep his residence in the US. Tread carefully, they may consider that he abandoned his greencard if he is spending more time out of the US than in.
