Hello all, 

 

Since we were married in 2017 and our spouses are abroad with no SSN (most of us), how does filing taxes work? Do we file it as married or single? If we do file it married what do you put for SSN? This is so confusing!

As you're married, you file as married  my US husband just finished his taxes. In the space for my "SSN" number he put "NRA" (non-resident alien) as I don't have one. He filed as "married filing separately" and had to mail it in instead of filing electronically. You can alternatively get your foreign spouse an ITIN number so that you can file jointly, but unfortunately I don't know the process for that.

To get. ITIN you must send in your original passport.  And fill out form W7.  But you can have your spouse apply for an extension of you think you be in USA soon so that he can file married filing joint to get th4 best tax deductions and benefits.   Hope this helps.

FYI, based on my experience It takes about 8 weeks to have a W7 processed for an ITIN.  You may want to file for an extension. Some additional info for future reference.

How do I apply for an ITIN?
Use the latest revision of Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to apply. Attach a valid federal income tax return, unless you qualify for an exception, and include your original proof of identity or copies certified by issuing agency and foreign status documents.

how long you get mail after RFE date ? it has been 1 week but nothing yet.

Mine has been 17 days since I sent it and still nothing😢

It’s been 17 days since I sent my rfe and they received it. Should I call or should I just wait? I’m stressing out 

[wacoachrusso 11]

So when the NVC asks for your income tax return copies...are they doing this to verify my income or to see if I filed single , married, married filing separate or no ???  Because I filed single because it kept asking me for my wife’s ssn, and she doesn’t have one.  I got an RFE and I’m working on that, but I’m worried about the income tax thing
