    ITIN application and tax returns
    Hi

    On Monday 13, 2010, I went to a local tax preparation expert to help me prepare my tax returns. This year I am applying as married with one child as dependent. My h4 spouse needs ITIN number because she don't have SSN.

    1. That local tax preparation guy prepared W7 form for my wife ITIN application and attached my federal tax returns form (1040) with it and send these documents to IRS on March 13, 2010.

    2. As my employer did not pay my federal tax for first four months (I do not know why he did not deduct at that time. :( I verified no federal tax is mentioned on my pay slips also) So I own $1165 to IRS. Tax preparation guy prepared a voucher and asked me to send money order of $1165 to IRS in a separate letter. He asked me to write down SSN and 10402009 on the money order.

    3. As far as local state tax return is concerned, he asked me to wait for ITIN letter from ITIN office. Once I get it then he will apply for my local state tax returns. He also said that he will apply for extension for me as I may get ITIN letter after 15 April.

    Is it right to send ITIN application and Tax return form (1040) to ITIN office and sending my owned money to IRS in separate mails?

    For local state tax return, is it OK to wait for ITIN number for my wife? Once I receive the ITIN number, then I will apply for my local state tax return?

    Every W2 form has 4 copies ( one need to file with Federal tax return form, other to be filed with local tax returns and others are employee copies). When he send my federal tax return form to ITIN office, he attached W2 employee copy mistakenly. Is it OK? (As such all copies contain same information).

    I am worried if I do not get ITIN number before April 15, 2010, I may get late and I may face penalty that I don't want.

    Can anybody please advice me what to do on this situation?

    Make sure to pay the tax due on or before April 15, 2010 even if you are applying for extension.
    Which visa do you have?

    I am on H1B visa. How can I make sure that I pay the tax before April 15? Should I send $1165 money order to IRS with Voucher now? I can not predict whether ITIN office will forward my 1040 to IRS before April 15.

    Do your tax return. File Form 4846 for extension. Send payment with extension.
    You do not worry about when ITIN office will forward 1040.
