Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your wife will be a non-resident unless you elect to treat her as a U.S. resident for tax purposes.

 

F-1 visa holders have five exempt years. If 2022 was her first year in the U.S. there is no substantial presence test. Visa status is determined individually. Your status does not affect your wife’s.

 

You can elect to file jointly with a non-resident spouse.

 

See Nonresident Spouse.

 

TurboTax does not handle non-resident returns. Contact TurboTax partner Sprintax.com to file your return unless you want to file a joint return.
