How to file tax return for a recently married marine stationed in Germany?

 

My client is in the military stationed in Germany and recently married (Nov 2010) a foreign national from Bulgaria.  They both reside in Germany at this time.  Spouse is a college student there and has no income.  The only income is my client's military pay.  Do I file a MFJ return anyway (spouse has no ITIN yet)?  If so, is a Form W-7 required to be attached to the completed return?  And finally, does all this mean return cannot be filed electronically?

Solved!

The solution

MFJ is correct and attach W-7 and paper filed is correct, if he can wait have him apply for alien status of his new wife (take about 6 months) she will apply for SSN and do it that way will be better for both, he can get all the credits the apply as with an ITIN he will not. I recommend to wait and get his wife legal 100%
