I have amended my tax return from single to married filing separately, but I just received a mail from IRS saying that they can't amend it since he does not have social security number...What should I do now? Should I just leave it and send the mail that I got from IRS When I send my AOS package or should I wait until I amend it to married.. I just got approval from USCIS two weeks ago and trying to check on my status with NVC. I'm just afraid that it will take a few months if I try to amend my tax return again .I thought they dont need SSN if I do married filing separately but why do they ask for it :(



Somebody help !!! What would be the best and fastest way ?

You do not need a SSN if you're filing married filing separately.. Where it asks for your spouse' SSN you would put NRA (Non-Residential Alien)

My CPA prepared it for me and I was not told to write down NRA.I guess that was the main issue. what should I do now? Do I need to amend it again or is it possible to tell them over the phone?

You should use NRA. My amended tax return was amened without any issues as they updated the status from single to MFS (mentioning NRA on SSN field of spouse). It took approx 10 weeks to complete my amended request. Making a call to IRS is useless. I guess you can amend it again.

I included a typed explanation letter with my returns. It was all of one sentence that explained the my wife is not a resident and does not have a social security number. No problems.
