Can I file a tax return for a married couple (married 12/30/2022) without the spouses SSN? It is being applied for...

You can paper file it, but expect issues.

Usually it only takes a few weeks to get a SSN after it is applied for, so if they have already applied or are about to apply, it would be better to wait to file the tax return.  Has the spouse already applied?  Or are they stuck waiting on something before they can apply?
