Well I have been in Iraq since before 2008 so I have yet to file my taxes. By the way I'm in the Army. Anyway, I was married in April of 2007 and since then I have listed as having one dependent. The problem is my wife does not have a SSN yet. We are still in the process of getting her a green card. So when I return from Iraq in 2009 I will have to file taxes for 2007 and 2008. If she still does not have a SNN or green card when I return can I still file her as a dependent or file as not having a dependent and being married? And if I can't do either if these can I be penalized?
