You should check with the SSA - and consider getting an extension until you get this sorted out. Teresa, if your husband is a green card holder, it’s likely that he needs to file, too.

In years past, I always filed head of household as I have a dependent child. However, I am now married and have been living with my husband since 2008-so I need to include my husband. BUT my husband is not eligible for a ITIN (Ind. Taxpayer ID No.) and although he is a green card holder-a SS no. was never sent to him. He cannot get a SS no. unless he appears stateside in person and he cannot do that because we are physically in Spain. How do I file my taxes? I no longer qualify for head of household and I cannot file married filing seperately without mentioning my spouse. PLEASE HELP!!!

Lucky I found your site because I was about to apply only for an EIN thinking it was easier than the ITIN. Guess I'll just have to wait for all the ITIN paperwork. Already read the IRS guidelines..... argh! Now I have new found appreciation for the New Zealand tax system which is much simplier. Blessings, K.
