I am working on (H1B) visa from Oct 2014 to Jan 2016 (till date) in NY USA
I am married since 2010. And I have wife and daughter (4 years) who are dependent on me, They are cuurently in India but they were in US for 4 months ( April 2015 - July 2015).
I went to IRS to get ITIN created but they said we can apply for it only when filling for returns.
I have most of the documents including (attested passport copy bu issuing authority - Indian embassy) that are needed for applying fortheir ITIN. But none of them have bank accounts.
I have three simple questions.
(1) Can I get go in person to IRS and apply for my wife and daughter ITIN even when they are not here currently ?
(2) Since they both are dependent on me, Can I claim same in my returns ?
(They were here only for 4 months)
(3) What would be best option for me, file as joint (married) or separate for getting
maximum refund ?
(4) What is the documantation required for applyimng for their ITIN ?
