Hi
I am an American citizen who recently moved to England. My wife is a British citizen. She is a Nonresident alien (NRI) when it comes to IRS, meaning she doesn't have any US tax liabilities.
We just got married. Meaning next year, I will be filling married filling separately ( MFS) with IRS. I have heard the electronic tax software will ask me for her social security number/ITIN which she doesn't have. I also have heard that I can write 999-99-9999 as her soc number then print the papers, then cross the above number, and instead write "NRI". Is this correct?
Is there a software which will let me submit electronically?
What are the pros and cons of obtaining ITIN for her?
We are planning on living in England for the foreseeable future. We also want to keep our finances as separate as possible. I also want to keep my US citizenship.
Thanks
