You should wait until you receive your green card.

Re: tax
In general, you can wait for the Social Security Number before you file. However, if you are planning to file a joint tax return with your husband (which is likely to be helpful evidence for the bona fides of the marital relationship you have with him), you may have to wait for the SSN or, in the alternative, you can obtain an EIN. Please note that it has been increasingly difficult for individuals not in valid status to obtain an EIN.
