My wife is on h1b visa and I am on h4, she has her SSN and been working here in US since 2007. I came here in US with our daughter last Mar.2009. My wife already filed her W2 last feb.2009 for the year 2008.
Question: Can we apply for ITIN now (for me and our daughter)? In advance before the 2009income tax return filing season.
We understand that ITIN nos. are given for tax purposes only but I am desperately needing to have my ITIN now cause I want to take a state board exam this coming October 2009, the requirement for exam application is particular on providing ITIN/SSN or the application for the exam will not be processed.
Anybody? Help. Thanks
