Need to file extension asap, spouse has no ssn!

[tachi88 4]

Hello,

 

I need to file for an extension (yes, very late shame on me). My husband doesn't have a ssn or an itin # and is still in the AoS process. I saw that the website for filing suggested something like a 999-98-9999. or something like that as a filler #, is that true? 

 

What do I do? Choose to file separately? My husband has not received his EAD yet either and hasn't worked in 2018. He arrived to the usa Nov 2017. We got married Dec 2017. Up until that point, he was still living and working in his home country.

 

Any advice would be helpful! We are taking to a tax professional about our situation, but I need this extension now. 

 

Thank you!

Extend your return based on MFS status.  File your return later based on whichever status you find most advantageous
