Dear all.
My question pertains to filing tax as head of household. I am on OPT now and my wife joined me in DEC 2007 . So for tax purpose I have to include her too when I filed my taxes.
Since I din't applied for her ITIN in due time ( before the last day of tax filling) I had send my tax forms and her ITIN forms together following some one's advice on some forum.
The problem here is
a) Her ITIN got rejected with reason that a vaild return was not included with ITIN request.
I understand something was wrong in this process as I filed my tax as head of household with my wife as only dependent and I claimed exemptions like tax treaty and like wise while there was no ITIN for her in the system at that time.
Please advice me what forms should accompany to get the ITIN approved.
b) I din't get my stimulus check too and the due date for the stiumulus check got passed a month back or so I think. Also FEDERAL Tax refund that I got was far low than what I asked (I assume that has something to do with my wife's ITIN no.. since they can't find it in their record file that time they assumed my tax filling as individual and send me the money with that calculation. Is there any way to get this money back ? ( feds assumed I am single and deducted according to that).
c) Arizona state refund din't come at all.
To Sum up
a) How can I get an ITIN number? What forms are required ? Do I have to attach copies of my Fed tax with w-7 ?
b) What are the steps to get my money back from IRS & Arizona state.
c) Do I need to call IRS to find out where is my stimulus check?
Please help
