Lucho Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I want to make sure I am correct: A tax payer working in the USA whose wife is in another country can file a joint return (assuming they are married) and send her the forms to be signed; also if the nonresident has no SS#, the return must include a W-7 form for a ITIN application. Is this correct or Am I wrong. Thank you for any help. Lucho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucho Correct... in addition, both have to report their global income and they both have to sign a statement electing to be treated as resident and you have to file 1040.

Lion EA Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 And, there's a separate address for returns with W-7s that I don't know since I haven't handled one for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
