Question

My wife doesn't have SSN/ITIN. I have a TN Visa, she has a TD & she can't work or request a SSN. For filing jointly and claiming her 4000 exemption what should I do?

If your spouse is not eligible to apply for a Social Security number, complete a Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw7.pdf).  This form will be attached to your tax return.  Turbo Tax does not support the Form W-7.  You can complete it outside of Turbo Tax.  You will have to print, sign and mail your return in if you are using Form W-7.

Hello,

 

Is the answer still valid in 2022? My spouse is in the US with a TD visa, but I understand that she cannot apply for an ITIN nor SSN because she is not allowed to work in the US.

 

Thanks,

Jorge
