Non-resident filing, no ITIN for spouse, spouse not in country
Hello,
Iam filing as a non-resident since my stay was less than 180 days last year. My situation is my wife and daughter came along with me but had to go back immediately (within a month) due to personal emergency at my home in India and I couldn't apply for their ITIN in time due to this. They will be back in May(2011).
In this context,
a) can I apply for ITIN when they are not here? If yes, how?
b) and should I wait until I get their forms and then file my return?
c) Do I need to apply in this situation? Can't I wait until they get back and apply. Will this affect my
This year's.
*** advise.
Thanks,
Partho-Ghosh
