You can get help when filing yourself free by calling IRS 800 #

My guess is file married since you are & maybe put "pending"

for her # IF she is in the process of getting adjusted...I am not

sure so call IRS they help ppl thru the process listen to the prompts

Hi,

You can not file as single because you are not single.

You can choose between married filing separately or married filing jointly.

If you file MFS, you can later amend the return when she gets a SSN to file jointly.

If you file MFJ, you can file for an ITIN and send your PAPER return to a special address.

Best of luck.
