Can TurboTax do our taxes? Married in May and my spouse is mid-green card after moving to the US from Hong Kong. Can TurboTax do our taxes?

She has some income from Hong Kong, now living in WI with no US income and attained a SSN in Oct 23 Is filling jointly in 2023 with TT $269 package sounding like the safest best route?

@ajphelps61-gmail , assuming that you are an US person ( citizen/ GreenCard/ Resident for Tax purposes ),  and your spouse an NRA ( Non-Resident Alien) with   SSN, TurboTax should be perfect for preparing and e-filing your 2023 MFJ ( Married Filing Joint ).   It can handle all the complexities  of the scenario you mentioned.

What I cannot comment on is the relative merit / efficiency / ease of use  ( because  I do not have sufficient knowledge of competing products , of which there are many  but TurboTax has  the largest  market share , I think ) .   Ditto for the price you mentioned.

My personal favorite is  downloaded/ CD windows version of  TurboTax Home & Business.  I like this because it covers almost all complex situations, the product and my return ( in its native form ) is on my machine , always available  even for amending or working on "what-if " scenarios  for current or later years. 

Note : Perhaps you should consider changing your sign-in name as it is too close to a ( valid?? ) e0mail address

Does this help ?
