Married is married.  The accountant is wrong.  You cannot legally file as single if you are married.  You can make him/her file a 1040X to amend the filing status if you want.

You only need SSN/ ITIN to file “married filing jointly.” Your wife can file “married filing separately” in the absence of your SSN/ ITIN.   I recommend your wife fire the current accountant

Accountant is wrong 

when married u file as married

when spouse is nonresident you file W7 with the supporting evidence (marriage certificate always and it has to be original with English translation) plus photo proof of ID

 

open this site ,  print out the page and make the accountant redo taxes with a 1040X 

and don't pay him for this

Don't worry for now, no need to amend at this time. Your wife's tax return filing as single is an IRS issue, doesn't impact your visa processing. All the embassy wants to see is the petitioner is paying taxes lawfully.

 

It would take almost 3-4 months or more during these time for the 1040x to be processed. When you immigrate to the US and get SSN, then amend it to married filing jointly if that gives you tax benefits. For now just relax.

It doesn't matter whether it says single or married on the tax return for your visa processing, why to waste tears on something not important. Just relax.

read what the IRS site says

 

If, at the end of your tax year, you are married and one spouse is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 7701(b)(1)(A) and the other is not, you can choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident for tax purposes

 

accountant is wrong

i filed for ITIN with 2010 tax returns as married that year

and used the ITIN for 4 years as Adil didn't have his visa till 2015

 

u don't need amended return for the intervview but your wife should start the amendment as it takes months 

 

just be sure your joint sponsor has furnished her with completed forms and tax trancripts

Come again?

 

Married people filing taxes as single are not lawfully paying taxes.  This is tax evasion.

We amend it soon as possible. We submit embassy 1040X with current 2021 transcript is it good or not. In few days we got our 2021 tax return. Our new accountant is said he will amend it submit 1040-X to IRS and take 2-4 months get processed. Embassy time also over next month. Should be enough amendment form which we'll send IRS in few days.
