Hi guys,

so my husband wants to do the taxes as soon as possible. I don't have my EAD card yet, thus I can't really get my SSN, correct? I can't apply for an ITN at this point anymore, can I? I will get my SSN sometime in the future I guess.

Any tips/advice in how to work this out?

Thanks!

file as married filing separately, then amend the return when you get an SSN.

If you have children, he can file as head of household and put NRA in the blank where your SSN goes.

Not correct. As long as you have your marriage certificate you can apply for your SSN. You do not need to wait for your EAD to get a SSN.

Only if you still have 2 weeks validity on your I94.

We are sorting this out with my accountant now. Brace yourself for some delays if your expecting a return either route you take. Here is what I know:

--snip--

Work eligibility

In general, only noncitizens who have permission to work from DHS can apply for a Social Security number. For most foreign workers, we only need to see an I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, showing a class of admission permitting work. Some foreign workers must show their work permits from DHS (I-766).

--snip--

If you do not have permission to work: Lawfully admitted noncitizens can get many benefits and services without a Social Security number. You do not need a number to conduct business with a bank, register for school, apply for educational tests, obtain private health insurance, apply for school lunch programs or apply for subsidized housing. You cannot get a Social Security number for the sole purpose of obtaining a driver’s license.

Government benefits or services: If you do not have permission to work, you may apply for a Social Security number only if:

  • A federal law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get a particular benefit or service; or
  • A state or local law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get general assistance benefits that you already have qualified for.

If you need a number to meet these state or local requirements, you must bring us a letter from the government agency. It must be on letterhead stationery (no form letters or photocopies) and:

  • Specifically identify you as the applicant;
  • Cite the law requiring you to have a Social Security number;
  • Indicate that you meet all the agency’s requirements, except having the number; and
  • Contain an agency contact name and telephone number.

Taxes: If you need a number for tax purposes and you are not authorized to work in the United States, you can apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Visit IRS in person or call the IRS toll-free number, 1-800-TAXFORM (1-800-829-3676), and request Form W-7, Application For An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

--snip--

In addition, you may file your taxes now with an application for an ITIN, but judging from your timeline you will get your EAD in time to get a SS# before April 15. If not, you can file an extension (but pay the taxes due with the extension) and then send in your return when the SS# arrives. I understand that the ITIN delays your return about 8 weeks.

We will most likely owe this year, but our accountant is working through the pro's and con's of each path.

ALSO

Remember that you can claim your non-resident spouse as a resident for tax purposes and file jointly. http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/U.S.-Citizens-and-Resident-Aliens-Abroad---Nonresident-Alien-Spouse

I hope this helps!
