Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks @DaveF1006 

I read the document shared .It says"Generally, neither you nor your spouse can claim tax treaty benefits as a resident of a foreign country for a tax year for which the choice is in effect."

 

Please confirm if my understanding is correct 

Does it mean that if I go  for married filling jointly  and treat my non resident ailen spouse as resident then she will not get foreign tax credit for taxes paid in CANADA  ?

If yes ,then i think I should not go for Married Filling Jointly as it will lead to double taxation of her wages  she earned  in Canada.
