IRS rejects E-File with ITIN. MFJ, spouse has ITIN

by the way I know this is an old post, which form do you use 1040 or 1040NR, this is more of an issue with southern american people who work for years in USA without leaving the country.

Yes it does allow you to efile with an ITIN. I'm using Basic and about 50% of my clients have ITIN's. Just make sure that their last name isn't hyphenated. One case I had the first and middle name were actually set-up as his first name. Ex: ABC EFG Smith - First name was ABC EFG and Last name Smith.

Thanks Jeannie! I have had similar problems with some other clients who have SSNs, but i kept trying different combinations of middle/last names until they were accepted. i'll try it again with the ITIN.

Is it possible that the person was recently married and never changed their name? Had a situation where the couple had been married for a number of years but she never changed her last name with SS office. Just a thought.
