Help Needed to file Income Tax
Hi Sajhabasi haru
I am going to file income tax pretty soon. But one thing is getting on my nerves and it is, How do I file income tax as married? Here is my situation, I am in US and my wife is in Nepal and she has never been in US and she does not have Tax Identification Number or Social Security Number. I tried to apply online but it asks for my wife's Social Security or Tax Identification Number. I tried searching everything I can on the internet and finally came out to a point that, I need to file a form called W-7 where they will provide me a 9 digits number which I can use as my spouse's Tax Identifiacation Number. Is that how you guys do it, or is there some other way to do it. Please inform me. I am really really thankful for all of you guys. Thanking You!

जहाँ सम्म लाग्छ अमेरिकामा खुट्टै नहाल्नु भएकी तपाईंकी श्रीमतीको नाम राखेर TAX FILE गन्रे खोज्दै हुनु हुन्छ , यदी i-94 र US बिसा लागेको कागज राखेर पठा भनेको खन्डमा के गर्नु हुन्छ। खैर त्यो पनि नसोधी ITIN नम्बर दिएर पठायो , एता MFJ गरेर अलिक बडी फिर्ता पनि पाउनु होला तर !!!!!!!!!!!
कुरा तर मा छ .
एक दिन तपाईंले श्रीमती लाई त ल्याउनुनै हुन्छ , पछी तपाईंले बोलाउनु परेको बेलामा कर तिरेको प्रमाण पनि मागेको खन्डमा तपाईको श्रीमतीको नाम पनि देखिन्छ, अथवा त्यो चाँहीको सामाजिक सुरक्षा पत्रको नम्बर हाल्दा नाली बेली देखाइ दिएर ढाटेको भन्ने पारेको खन्ड्मा कही यो गीत गाउदै बस्नु पर्ला " सजनी मेरा उस पार है , मिलनेको दिल बेकरर है "
२-४ पैसा बडी आउने लोभ मा अमेरिकि बसाइ अविवाहित होला rest of your life, बिचार गर्नुस् ठन्डा दिमागले , आफ्नै खुट्टामा बन्च्ररो हान्ने काम गर्न लग्या हो कि जस्तो लाग्दै छ है मलाई त ? If the embassy thinks you have lied, even after citizenship may have to face hard time. Good luck on your thought but think twice before you do that.
यो जाली ब्रो को कुरा तिर नलाग , जो हात सो साथ,
My question was pretty straight forward.. I was just asking, " How would a married US resident alien file a income tax, where his/her spouse is still in his/her home country?"
When a married person files a income tax in US he/she is required to have his/her SSN or Tax Identification No and there's no way we can file without having the spouse's SSN or TIDN No. My question is how would I get a TIDN no for my spouse that way I could file my income tax. I hope this makes clear and hoping for a straight response. Once again Thanks for everyone who read or replied this thread. Jai Shambu.. Bholenath ki Jai
I guess you have answered yourself ( do not go with my angreji).
If the ITIN is for a dependent, the documentation must prove that the dependent is a U.S. National or a resident in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Republic of Korea (South Korea) or India.
Other than these countries you can not get ITIN for your dependent. so you can not get deduction as Married Filling jointly, you can apply single or married filing serperately or file 1040NR and check other married nonresident as filling status and also check line 7a.
w-7 is the right form for ITIN but the dependent must be in united states for you to file this form. except for dependent from few countries mentioned above.
Thanks kale bhale.. This makes my confusion a little bit clear. But if I file as single and since I am married and the USCIS has all of my information, won't they see me as a fraud. Being married and filing as a single. And even if I file as a married filing separately they still ask for the spouse's SSN or ITIN. So it means I need to file 1040 NR like kale bhale said. Ok then I will go ahead and file 1040 NR. Thanks again for everybody!
Hey Kale Bhale!
1040NR form u mentioned earlier is for US Non Resident Alien but I am a US Resident Alien (Permanent Resident). So wut sud I do? It seems I've pretty much knowledge about it, so any further suggestions? Thanks Again!!
Why dont you just go to one of these Tax perparation places instead of wasting your time looking for answers from people who may not know crap about filing taxes.
Garibkochoro is right. each individual has differenct tax scenario. so you can go to any IRS building. they will help you out but i do not know about those H&R blocks and all other tax filling center. they do not know what they are doing, I have worked with IRS so i know about the knowledge of those tax filling places like jacksonhewitt all crap. i recommend you to go to a CPA or IRS office. IRS will help you out for free. CPA will charge you depending upon your income and refund and hours they have to spend on your case. so good luck.
Thanks everybody!

हो नि सोम किन समय खेर फालिद्यौ अरुको ,
सोम हरु दाल भात खान पाइएन भनी गुनासो गर्दै थिए ,
ईण्डियन रेस्तुरा मा किनेर खान पाईन्छ किन पकाउन सिक्ने ,
झन यो त बर्षको एक पल्ट मात्रै त हो नि ,
पैसा तिरे पछी जे पनि हुन्छ, शिवबुटिले समय खेर फालिदियो कसैको
नै काले भाले ले पहिलै मिठो सल्लहा ठोकिदिनु पर्थ्यो नि , का बिपत्ता भा थियौ ?
लौ जाउ जाउ , सित्तैको सट्टा ७०-९० तिरेर आउ।
शिवबुटी , हामीलाई पनि जानकारी गराउनुहोस् है ,
नेपाल बसेकाको ला ट्याक्स मा राख्न मिल्ने न मिल्ने कुरा .
जय होस कालेको बिजय होस् भालेको , जस सम्भो
