I am on work visa in USA and my spouse has dependent visa and we have USA citizen kid.My spouse is working in CANADA since July 2021 on work permit .She is resident of CANADA f or tax.Her USA income is from Bank deposit.
For 2022 I am resident alien and my spouse is non resident alien.I got to know that non resident alien can be treated as resident alien if one spouse is resident alien.
I am planning to file Married filling Jointly
Questions
1 When filling USA tax return If we treat her resident ailen even though she is rnon resident ailen .Can she get foreign tax credit in USA tax return for taxes paid in Canada? Does tax treaty work in this case when non resident is treated as resident ailen
2 Can she be treated resident ailen for Federal return but non resident for state return (IL) .In state return will show her IL income earned from Bank interest
3 Can we file online using turbo tax ? As per IRS website need to attach document to tax return and explain i want to treat non resident spouse as resident
