Hello everyone--

The good news is that my husband's case is at the NVC and we are just waiting for a case number... the snag that has come up is trying to figure out how to pay my taxes for 2013-- I was married in 2013, so this is my first time filing as married. I am in my husband's country with him so that he can get to know our son while we are waiting for the visa-- I had asked a family member back in the us to file for me, but he wasn't able to figure out how to do so due to no SSN or ITIN for my husband... I am figuring I will have to rely on the extension for American's living overseas, but would still very much appreciate any advice on how to proceed when I get back to the us...probably in the next few weeks.

I have seen people on this site claiming that a SSN or an ITIN is not necessary if filing as married filing separately, but according to my family member the pproblem he ran into was that California where I reside, is a common property state, and there is form that must be submited together with the federal return in order to file as MFS in those states which does require an ITIN. So what I am trying to ascertain is: is it truly necessary, and if so how can I request the number and file in the most expeditious manner. I am assuming that I woin't be able to progress through NVC until I have my 2013 taxes filed?

Please help, this is stressing me out, just when things were finally starting to work...

I don't have regular internet access here, and so may not be able to respond to question right away, but will definitely be checking back when I can.

Happy Semana Santa to those in Latin America!

A MFS return has to be filed on paper. You write NRA in the SSN spot. There is no quick way to request an ITIN at the moment when you're already at the NVC stage and taxes are just past due.

Try doing your taxes online, which you should be able to do with turbo tax or another online program, print the final result, and mail it.

Does anyone know anything about the California aspect? I was told that ir would be necessary to attach a form detailing my husband's identity due to the fact that CA is a common property state?
