ITIN Instructions

[sunilr]

I am on a H4 Visa and I have question in filling up W7 form(ITIN) for my Tax Id.

Reason you are submitting Form W7: Check only one box.
1. Nonresident alien required to obtain ITIN to claim tax treaty benefit
2. Nonresident alien filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
3. U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN
4. Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien
5. Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien
6. Nonresident alien student, professor, or researcher filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for an SSN.
7. Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien visa holder. Enter name and visa type of primary holder.

I am not sure what option should I check as my husband is on H1B Visa.

Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks

Also write on the cover letter that your are on H4 visa status and not eligible for SSN and your spouse XYZ is working on H1b visa status and has SSN and you need ITIN to file the U.S Tax jointly with your working spouse.

Provide your complete name and address and sign the cover letter
