Question: When Alex got here he worked a few months at a ranch. He filled out the W2 form and made a few thousand. My W2 has arrived BUT HIS HAS NOT! we have been calling the rancher to get the W2 but it has not helped. What can we do? We kept his pay stubs so we have proof of employment.

On her W4 she change her status to marriage at her job?

If I am not mistaken, when you are married less taxes are taken out.

If she files otherwise she may be having to pay back. Unless she wants to fill out a W7 on behalf of her husband so he can get an ITIN and they file taxes jointly.

If she does this, she has to file through mail, and can't do the efile

Not sure If I am correct...

You can still file married and put your daughter as a dependent since that is what she is, but I doubt you can get the credit since your daughter came in OCT and the minimum is 6 months.

You will probably still get the marriage credit though.

Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.

Yes, this is what she SHOULD do, file the w-7 and then file married jointly. Yes you file through the mail but what's so bad about that? Ideally if you owe $0 at the end of the year that would be perfect. Getting back thousands means you OVERPAID and they don't give you any interest on that money - none - zero - zilch. I like to actually owe just a small amount.
