Congratulations Leo. I have read the some of the posts of your frustration and I am glad that you have come out of this stronger and successful. Enjoy your freedom and also keep writing/guiding others so that they may not have to go through the same pain.

Happy times!!

It's been a very rough and painful 14 year journey to this day. Thanks for being with me during some of my most painful days.

I must also Thank Ron Gotcher, which I will send a personal note, as he had helped me out with his suggestions when my attorney goofed up my 140 petition and I had go work in Canada for some time.

Will definitely be around :)

Tax Filing - ITIN/SSN

I am sorry if its already answered and if its not the correct forum.

I want to ask if for filing the tax for FY 2011, do I have to wait for SSN for my wife (we got the EAD approvals yesterday and plan to apply for SSN as soon as we get the cards in hand) and then use it or can I still use the existing ITIN?

You can continue to use ITIN until you actually have SSN number with you. Good Luck!

I was told that there is $1500 gain over spouse's SSN (if unemployed) and filing together. Anybody heard anything of this kind?

You can still use ITIN if you want, as she dont have SSN yet. And then later on, when you get SSN, you just go to local IRS office, with ITIN letter or a copy of your tax returns with wife's ITIN on it if you have lost the original ITIN letter, SSN card in original, passport, any drivers license or state ID if your wife has, and they will merge over her ITIN records onto her SSN. This is fool proof way of doing it.

Alternatively, you can apply for SSN, and then file tax returns. You still have to inform IRS about SSN and merge over though. It does not remove that step.

Nope, no difference. SSN made difference only for getting stimulus money 3 years back for something Obama had given out. Otherwise, no harm in applying with ITIN. There is no stimulus money to be gained this year.

Leo,

THANKS and CONGRATS !! :)

Kanmani and Nishant,

Thx for the replies!

So I will file these returns with her ITIN only. :)

Nishant thanks for the updated infor of getting the SSN merged over the ITIN. It definitely is a better way than sending them the letters!!

Further this is my suggested fool proof way of doing it:

1. Apply with ITIN. Wait until you get your refund or money deducted from your account if you have to pay tax extra, so you know your tax return has been processed. Only after this go over to local IRS office to inform of SSN to merge records.
2. Get your SSN, go over to local IRS office, do the thing, and then after a week (just gut feel, give them a week), file your tax returns with wife's SSN.

Generally once a timing issue or a deadlock or something slips through cracks is created in a government process, a lot of heartache is taken to resolve it, want to avoid that.

I had done number 1 above as I couldn't wait to get my refund, wife didn't have EAD in hand till then, and guessed it will take like at least one to two weeks after EAD to get SSN :)

I am planning to go with the process you described in Pt. 1. Definitely looks a better and more secured way with some extra peace of mind.

Thanks once again!
