    Apply for ITIN
    Hi,
    I came to us last year 2011 and returned back in Sep 2011, I came back to USA in January 2012 first week. My wife and daughter recently joined me in May 2012. I am currently on H1 and dependents are on H4. I have already filled 2011 tax returns. Can you please clarify if I can apply itin for both now?

    Thanks,
    AK

    I presume you filed as a non-resident alien (filing Form 1040NR) for 2011.

    You can file Form 1040 JOINTLY with your wife and submit Forms W-7 to get ITINs for your wife and child when you file the 2012 tax return.

    You CANNOT submit the Forms W-7 by themselves without the tax return; if you do, they will be rejected.
