    Yes, put her ITIN where her SSN would go.

    What is your visa status? When did you first enter the U.S.

    Need answers to respond to your other issues.

    Hi!! Atlanta Tax Expert
    Thanks for your reply. I am on H1 B and have been in US since 2001. I filed for my taxes directly at the IRS office last year when I was applying for the ITIN # for my wife. But I just want to make sure that I file for "Married filing jointly" this year. Moreover the efile website shows my wife's ITIN number as incorrect SSN when entered.
    Your reply would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Yes, Married Filing Jointly is the correct filing status for you.

    As for the ITIN, first, double-check the ITIN against the document the IRS issued to you. If it's correct, try a different software. If that does not work, file manually.
