    Not filed return, need to apply ITIN for wife
    Hi,
    I came to US on short term with my wife in Mar 2007 and went back in June 2007.
    I was on H1 and my wife on H4 visa.
    I need to apply the tax return for myself . For applying as married filing jointly , I need to have ITIN for my wife. Please let me know how to proceed on this.

    I checked through turbotax site and as per them I will get refund from IRS.
    The other thing is I am currently not in US, so is it possible to do the things online.

    Any help would be highly appreciated.


    Thanks,
    Dheeraj

    If you were in the U.S. from March 2007 to June 2007, you will file nonresident tax return. You can not file joint return as resident. You will not get ITIN for your wife.
    TurboTax will not do nonresident tax return. It can not be efiled. Download form from IRS web site and complete it.
    For nonresident filing, read:
