    US tax filing with no SSN/ITIN for Wife
    Hi
    I was in US on H1 visa with single status from Jan to May. I went back India got married and came back to US for 2 months (Sep- Nov) without my wife. So for year 2010 my wife was never in US.

    Now, what tax filing status should I be using - Married Filing Separately or Single?

    Also do I need to file using paper filing only?
