I cannot use VA ifile this year because the online ifile will not let me enter the spouse SSN instead of the ITIN (even though the box is editable – clicking on Next gives an error saying – “The SSN you entered for your Spouse is Invalid”). So I called up Virginia Department of Taxation and they said I have to paper file this year.

But I did get my Federal done – yipee! but only 20$ refund – unyipee

If you got an SSN mid-year and still have 1099s for an ITIN, you need to send a letter to the IRS saying that you have an SSN now and you will use it to file your tax returns instead of your ITIN. This information is straight from talking to IRS customer service. I couldn’t find any information on this online, so I had to call and ask. I couldn’t get Scottrade to reissue the 1099s with the SSN instead.
