ldreyna Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Another situation new to me... T/p got married to a non resident in 2008. Now, she has received a SS card January of 2010 (the non resident is now a citizen). The question is whether they (husband and wife) can do their return using her new ssn even though she didnt have it in 2009? I cannot find any situation that covers this sinario. I believe that since she has a ssn now that she is able to use it on the mfj return for 2009. Somewhere in my brain (whats there anyway) I want to recall reading that she could even go back 3 years and amend returns where no ssn was present, and put the new ssn she got now. Am I correct? My only question is for 2009 return when she received it in 2010. Not concerned about amending. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks again, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmabee Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I believe she can use the new nember in 2009. I did that before but I did paper file. I don't think it will go thru efile also most 2010 ss numbers and names are not updated this soon to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwalters Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 That is my belief. You can file the 2009 and you can amend back 3 years. with new ss#. as bcolleen says the efile might not go thru. Linda and buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yes, once she has the number you use it for any year you file that includes her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 How did the US citizen file in 2008? If filed as married filed jointly or MFS, please amend. If not, please file jointly in 2009 and call it the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
