Thanks. If I decide to file jointly, would the tax treaty apply for my wife’s income? Technically none of her income should be taxed since she already once else we would be taxed twice. Any advice would be helpful.
If she is treated as US resident for tax purposes by filing Married Filing Jointly she is required to report her income on a a US tax return. However, she can include with the return a Form 2555 which has an exclusion of up to $112,000 of foreign earned income on the US return.
