You can enter an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). If she does not have one, you will have to apply for one and send the application with the tax return. If you are not claiming the exemption you do not need spouse's ITIN.

I found an acceptance agent in Manila who is willing to do this for 1500 pesos (about $30 US). Thank you.

Can you pass along the agent? I've done many google searches and come up blank. Can you provide email/phone/location? How long did it take you to get the number?

The IRS maintains a list of Certifying Acceptance Agents (CAA) HERE. Although being listed on this website is voluntary so there could be others in your area.

The IRS tends to issue these numbers in 3-6 weeks, but that timeframe does vary quite a bit.

If you cannot find a local CAA, you can send original documents with the application to the IRS and they will return them to you.

Please note that you will send your completed and signed tax return with the application for the ITIN and the ITIN office will apply the number and forward the return for processing.

The ITIN will not be issued without the attached tax return (unless one of the exceptions outlined on the Form W-7 is met and documentation provided.)
