Who can tell you how long it will take to process the forms? Other than the IRS?

You need to file them asap...and then use online tax transcript requesting to get it electronically. That reduces any issues with mail delays and loss.

ok so from the date of the actual filing up until the date that you can get the tax transcript takes a average of 4 months then?

That depends.  If filed on paper in July 2020 for 2019 and my transcript was just made available June 2021.  I filed my 2020 taxes electronically and the transcript was available within a few days of filing.

IF you can file electronically BASED ON WHAT THE IRS SAYS...then DO SO.

That is the surest and quickest. PERIOD.

I know the current financial year has ended recently, from what we hear there is now due to that a big back log there for various sources are telling us after filling his taxes he could only get his transcript within around 4 months

if you file electronically  transcripts available 1n less than 2 weeks as lucky cat stated..... that was in may of this year

Hi there.

 

Did anyone file their IRS taxes online as       married ,     without their spouse (a nonresident alien) having a social security number or individual Taxpayer Identification number successfully ?

Have no errors or issues?

I believe this can be done using TaxAct, which is the only software I know of that includes a box to check saying that the spouse is a nonresident alien. You would have to choose Married Filing Separately in order to be able to file online.

 

I did not do this myself since we filed jointly and had to submit paperwork for the W-7/ITIN application which must be done by mail or in person with an acceptance agent.

You MUST have a SSN or ITIN to file electronically.

Thank you, how long did it take you guys to get your tax transcript after filling jointly for the first time?

[Crazy Cat 41,985]

You cannot file online without a SSN or ITIN.
