    W-7 form.Dependent or Spouse?
    Hi,
    I am here in US on H1 B visa. I got married in Apr 2006 and my wife came here in Jun 2006. I am filing my tax return as a resident alien for 2006 and claiming my spouse as an exemption. I have few questions on W-7 Form as I am applying the ITIN for my wife.

    There is column in W-7 form which says " Reason for submitting the W-7...

    ----Nonresident alien required to obtain ITIN to claim tax treaty benefit
    ----Nonresident alien filing a U.S. tax return
    ----U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return
    ----Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien
    ----Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien
    ----Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a U.S. visa

    Out of these options which box should I check?

    And what copies of passport do we need to send along with W-7 form??

    Sorry for the delay in answering; there was a glitch in the updating process on my computer.

    Check "Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien".

    Get all pages photocopied and ALL pages notarized to be sure.
