My husband and I filed our 2007 tax return last year as married filing jointly. Since I didn't have SSN, I applied for W-7 with it. About 6 weeks later, we received a note that my W7 (ITIN) was rejected. So was our return still considered married filing jointly?

What were the reasons for rejection?

FWIW, technically MFJ is not available without either a ITIN or SSN

I lost the note about the reason for rejection. But I think it was due to lack of supporting documents (tax preparer's fault). So if it was not MFJ, what was the status of our 2007 return then? Our 2007 IRS transcript says MFJ. This really confuses me and gives me problem when filing for our 2008 tax return. The software asks if we filed our 2007 return as MFJ or no and I'm not sure what to answer.

Since you have the 2007 transcript - what does it say under/next-to your name? (Where SS/ITIN # would go)...

It just says Spouse SSN: (no number follows)
