    L1 visa holder, does not yet applied for spouse ITIN
    Hi,

    1) I reached NYC on 4th Oct, 2006 with L1 visa.
    2) My spouse reached there on 15th Dec, 2006 with L2.
    3) I filed Income Tax return for 2006 singlely.
    4) We returned back to India on 1st Aug, 2007.
    5) I never applied for ITIN for my spouse.

    A. In the above scenario, how can I apply for ITIN for my spouse? I got to know that I need to submit W-7 with "notarized" copies of documents.
    1.What are the documents do I need for her ITIN? (only passport/visa is sufficient or marriage certificate should also be enclosed?)
    2. Will Indian notarization be accepted, or should I notarize from US consulate?
    3. Which check box should I cross in W-7 - e. Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien
    Or, g. Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a U.S. visa ?

    B. How can I file Federal tax? Means,
    1. should I apply after ITIN comes? (I guess it would be too late) otherwise, what documents should I attach?
    2. Which form should I fillup? Is it 1040-EZ?

    C. Please let me know the same info about NY Tax file.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Sumit
