I am a US Citizen married to a non-resident Canadian citizen. We filed for an ITIN number for him last year (2009 tax season)so we could file married joint; however, the ITIN number was rejected. The IRS then adjusted the return to remove him as a dependent (allowance)and processed my return. Do I need to file for an ITIN again this year? Or is there another way to file my taxes this year than apply for the ITIN again? Also, how do I claim 1099 income for him from 2009 & 2010?

Spouse is never a dependent. You can file joint return. Attach W-7 with your tax return. Do not file it separately. On joint return both must report worldwide income for the year.

"On joint return both must report worldwide income for the year." -

Would this apply also if one spouse is a J1 visa holder physician and other is a B1/B2 visa holder currently in US since 3 months?

We got married in Oct 2010.

Thanks!

Maybe; it depends on your home country.
