You can file a joint tax return if you are a U.S. citizen and are married to a nonresident spouse. And you can use TurboTax and file a regular Form 1040. Your wife will be treated as a resident alien, meaning all your joint worldwide income is taxable to the U.S.

You have the option to wait until your wife receives an ITIN and/or Social Security number or you can file your tax return together with a W-7 application. Mail everything to:
Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
If you’re applying for a new ITIN, complete and attach Form W-7 to your tax return when you file the tax return for which the ITIN is needed. If you’re unable to file your tax return by the due date, you must file an application for an extension of time to file.
Failure to timely file the tax return with a complete Form W-7 and required documentation may result in the denial of refundable credits, such as the additional child tax credit (available for tax years prior to 2018) and the American opportunity tax credit, if you otherwise qualify.
Don’t file your tax return without Form W-7.
For detailed instructions refer to Instructions for Form W-7.
