My wife arrived on july15th. I called local ssa office, and they asked for name, birthday, and arrived date. They checked in their systems, and didn't find my wife information. They told me to wait another 2 weeks and call back.

My friend just filed an extension  because he is waiting for his wife ssn too.

He used taxact to efile the form 4868 for federal. For states(California) , you automatically get 6 months.

"We give you an automatic 6-month extension to file your return. You must file by the deadline to avoid a late filing penalty.

The deadline is October 15, 2020.

An extension to file your tax return is not an extension to pay. Pay the amount you owe by July 15 to avoid penalties and interest."

Yes, a few people are getting the same .

Hello , I was able to efile mfs with taxact. For federal, it has the option to choose non resident for spouse. For states, you have to mail it.

Hello,

 

Due to the income tax filing extension I am filing my 2019 taxes this week.  My husband is not in the US.  We are in the NVC stage right now.  My accountant said that since he is not in the US we cannot get an ITIN or SSN yet.  Has anyone filed Married Filing Separately without an ITIN for their foreign spouse?  Accountant said he needs to have one.  I thought I read in other threads I could leave that blank and provide a letter of explanation why there is no ITIN or SSN.  Much appreciated!!

 

I am about to do my tax too as mfs. Which software did you use? And did u send it electronically? Thx

hello, my wife just passed her visa interview in vietnam. She didn't get any paper on how to pay the green card fees. Do we wait until we get the visa then we can pay the green card fees?

Thank you
