    Gourab:

    You can file Form 1040 as Married Filing Jointly. Leave her SSN field blank!

    Fill in Form W-7. Follow the W-7 instructions and attach it to the Form 1040. Mail it to the IRS Center in Philadelphia, PA. They will assign your wife an ITIN, fill it in where her SSN goes, and process your return.

    Wait until you get the ITIN before you file the state tax return.
