Hello community,
I researched a couple topics regarding this situation, but still have a couple outstanding questions
My situation:
I have been working and living in California. I married my wife in mid 2022 when I visit her aboard. She does not have SSN, ITIN. She does not receive income related to US source. We currently live separately (she never come to US).
I do not have an intention to claim any addition benefit.
Federal: I understand that I will need to complete tax preparation. put place holder SSN ([removed]), and then choose to file by mail. Print document, write off and put NRA, and then mail the form to IRS.
State (California): Can I just do the same with federal one? I could not find any suggestion basically.
Also, I was preparing my tax on the Turbo Tax Online. Does it mean I have to complete the review, then purchase and the option to print form (to file by mail) will be available afterward?
I am just afraid if the system will try to e-file right away after I complete the payment.
Not sure if I should get the license for desktop application instead.
Much appreciate responses.
