Question

Can I file California state tax without an ITIN?

I am married filing jointly. I am applying for an ITIN for my spouse. Can I attach form W-7 to my state tax return and mail it or do I have to apply for an extension and wait until my wife has an ITIN to e-file my state tax?

You can mail your California return with a copy of the W-7 form attached.

Do you know if I only need to attach a copy of the form W-7 or do I need to include my spouse's passport as well to prove her foreign status?

No, do not include your wife's passport as proof of her foreign status. A copy of the W-7 will let CA know everything necessary to process your state return - if they need more, they will contact you.
