Can I claim my wife if she is not a US citizen?

In certain situations, you can claim your nonresident alien spouse as a dependent if they have no gross income and aren't a US citizen or resident. This allows you to use the head of household status. However, your spouse must have an ITIN, and you must provide over half of their support.

Can I use my SSN instead of a TIN?

You should use your TIN for verification anytime you contact us about your business account. The only exception is if you're the sole proprietor of the business. In this case, please use your SSN instead.
