Hi,
I am on H4 from 2006. Filed tax for 2006 using ITN with my spouse(H1) as Joint Return. My spouse wants to do Married filing Separately FOR 2007. My question is for 2007,
1) Do I need to file a separate return in spite of lack of income(H4) ?
2) Or do I just leave it as such and not file at all?
3) I received my SSN on December,2007. If I file tax for 2008 next year, will I encounter any glitch or trouble.

Kindly help,
Thanks

1) If you have NO U.S.-sourced income, you have no requirement to file.

2) Yes.

3) No; the SSN supersedes the ITIN.
