I HAVE MAARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IN ENGLISH ALREADY! what other ID of her do I need to send? do i need the real IDs hardcopy or photocopy is OK???

I have our marriage certificate do i send the original or copy of it? proof of ID for her i have her ID digital version and I can ask her to send me a copy of her passport would that be OK?

Salam. I am preparing to file the W7 for my wife for next year taxes i will need to send my 2022 taxes along with her passport? i dont have her original copy of her passport or id but only have digital...do they require originals? if yes then its best to wait til i get to morocco next week and file it from there i suppose? i filed my 2022 taxes with HR BLOCK and she put Married Filing Separate with her name but said I cant get deduction because there is no ITIN #. Can I amend 2022 taxes to get the deduction for 2022 after I get ITIN # for her or does that only apply if she is USA only. Finally on the actual W7 form on the top it gives you choices A-H , I select E (Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien ? Thank you brother Salam Jeanine, I am preparing to file the W7 for my wife for next year taxes i will need to send my 2022 taxes along with her passport? i dont have her original copy of her passport or id but only have digital...do they require originals? if yes then its best to wait til i get to morocco next week and file it from there i suppose? i filed my 2022 taxes with HR BLOCK and she put Married Filing Separate with her name but said I cant get deduction because there is no ITIN #.

yes u can but i dont have a ITIN # for so for now will do married file separate and then next year amend it.

She doesn't have to be in the USA, an election under IRC 6013(g) recognizes one spouse as foreign and elects to treat them as a resident, solely for tax purposes. I will still need a ITIN # in order to get deduction right? so like u mentioned I will just do MFS and later down the road amend it. thanks

Hey bud. I called another HR block and he told me to file as Married F separate which should be ok for me as someone told me during interview they will look at my tax returns to make sure I filed as married and not single. In terms of deduction I wont get it because she is not in USA...but as long as i can do MFS I am ok yes?

hi jeanine i called another HR and he said file MFS...so we are good...i wont get deduction though because no ITIN..at least will be safe for interview at casa :0

i am lost now....local irs requires her to be present..

should i make an appointment at my local IRS office and ask about the ITIN?

i just called hr block again and told her about that IRS link she said she knows about it...in order to do that she has to be here so we can get a ITIN # for her but she is not in USA...she said file single

so u r saying file Married JOINtly?will this put me on a higher tax bracket??? i m self employed i normally owe money end of year...when i do single i get like a 12500 deduction...so u r saying IRS is saying to file as JOINT? eventhough she is not in USA?

adil i just called another place HR block and she told me same thing...we need a SS or ITIN #.. if i do a ITIN request it takes 8 weeks ....she also said if i file MFS i will be on a higher tax bracket!

i called 2 places they both told me u cant get deduction without some # like social or ITIN...itin takes long time to get ...he said just file single then next year she comes you can amend it...if i file MFS like u are mentioning will i get my normal deduction that i get every year 12500 or do i lose that also?

i just spoke with a CPA and he said you wont get the deduction even if you leave SS blank because she is not in USA...she has to be here min 6 months ...

thanks for responding...so its best if i go to HR block or something and do it....turbo tax guy said u cant get deduction because she is not in USA i am self employed

i was having turbo tax do it and he is saying they are not licenced to do it...he said i have to do it with a CPA...if i do CPA will i get the deduction eventhough she is not here in USA?

will i stil get a deduction if i do this?

hi jeanine/ i got married dec 31 i have my marriage certificate. u mentioned do itin but that takes long time...her case is in process...what are the other option so that i can get the deduction? thank you

Salam all, I got married last year and I am getting ready to file my taxes. Someone previously told me if I remember correctly that I can get a deduction for this year taxes if I got married last year... If correct can someone more expert shed light on this..I also talked with a tax guy and he said you will need. TIN # or something which I believe is a social security...

Hi brother...I also recently filed CR1 and got the first notice for my wife in morocco. So the K3 is really form 129f yes? isnt this the K1 application? also says fee 535$...i live in connecticut so if I file K3 my case goes thru vermont? thank you

Marriage certificate in hand in morocco. I have done the impossible and now its time to file i130. What documents would I need from my wife side so when I return home I can start the application. I made an account on USCIS and just now starting to fill out the i130 hopefully everything goes smooth:) mods please dont move my post to another forum i need someone to answer this so that i can start the next chapter of my life

i did not ask u

I have visited her 2 times and would like to know if i can at least start the CR1 application and then go back in 2-3 months to get married. Is this an option or does the application ask for a copy of the marriage certificate? Mucho thanks

Hello, I will be getting married soon..does anyone have a contact info for a document translator in agadir or casablanca?

why u move my post?????
