Hello,

My wife and I are in a same sex marriage in Florida (where it is not legal). We were married in a legal state and are going through the I-130 process now (about 6 months in). Now, I was going to file my taxes, but if I choose "married but filing seperate" it still wants her SSN, which she does not posses because she lives in the UK. Am I able to file as "single" and not have there be an issue with my I-130 application (I get more money back this way)?

Thanks!

But you are not single, and reporting so with the IRS can get you into trouble with them. There has long been a marriage penalty with taxes, this is something same sex marriages are just discovering.

If you filling by software like TurboTax ....you can input any number with SSN format to let the software run when ask for SSN of your spouse. And then print the completed form 1040 out, white out the "fake" SSN that you inputted before. Write NRA on that line, mail it to IRS. That way I did when amended my tax return to change filling status from Single to MFS
