Without an ITIN, you cannot show your wife as a dependent. You have to get an ITIN number. Most states offer free tax help.
Also, know that you probably won't get any benefits by declaring your wife as a dependent.

Ok but we applied for ITIN # and they ask for tax return form than ido not understand how we filled tax return form with out ITIN#

I would suggest that you go to the local library and ask for help there. r, they have a bookle for each tax form.

You need professional tax help; see my email below.

You complete and sign the Form W-7 and staple a notarized photocopy of your wife's passport to the W-7. You then submit BOTH form with your tax return. Put your wife's name on the return, but leave the SSN area blank. Mail the return to the address in the W-7 instructions.

The IRS will issue you the ITIN, insert it in the appropriate part of the tax return, then process the return. They mail you the ITIN under separate letter.

Then (and only then) can you file your state tax return.
