Is this going to be a problem? Does the IRS require documenation of his income since we are filing jointly. Is it better to just apply as married filing separately if this is going to create headache in the future. I have an accountant that did my taxes when i was single but he is not familiar with the doing returns when foreign spouse and ITIN
