    Default How to File Taxes if Your Undocumented Spouse Has Earned Income

    Hello -
    I'm in desperate need of help. I'm trying to file my taxes as MFJ and the issue is that my husband doesn't have a SSN or an ITIN? He also gets paid mostly in cash. We have filed the immigration papers but they need for my taxes to be filed (and I think filing them jointly would be better) before they will continue the process and I need to get it done in a hurry. Does anyone have any insight on how I can do this with no back up from him?

    Thanks for any help.

    Getting an ITIN number for him would be best, but if that is not possible then married filing separately, mailing in a paper return is about your only option.
