My wife is in the process of getting a green card, but wont receive it until after the tax season. Do I need to apply for a ITIN number to claim her on taxes? Reason I ask is because it says on the irs website that you should apply for a ITIN number if you are not elegable for a SSN, however, she is in the process of getting her SSN with her green card. How do I go about this?
Answer
It depends on the process she's using to get the green card. If she's adjusting status through you, then she's likely eligible for an EAD (employment authorization document) which upon receipt will allow her to obtain an SSN upon application. If she's applying for a green card in another manner, an EAD may be available through that process as well. Some clarification is needed to best guide you.
