    It is likely that filing jointly is the best option tax-wise.

    When you file, you must apply for an ITIN for her WITH the tax return. Any application prior to the submission of the tax return will likely be rejected.

    I can help you file this return; it IS what I do!

    If you need professional help filing your return, email me at [email protected] or [email protected].
