Okay, Last year I filed "Married filing separately"  with the Chaos this year I was in fact supporting my wife and (step)daughters, as she was not working for several months.  They have not entered the country yet.  I am considering, filing married jointly for this year, as her income is effectively $0.  Can I file for a Tax Id number for her?  Do I also need to do so for our daughters?   to be able to claim all as dependents.

The step children can't be used on taxes until they get an SSN.
