Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@dvallee40  the list of items/ info to include is for exercising the first year  option and is essentially what your spouse is doing.

Thus the test period is the first after admission to the USA till the last day of the tax year-- you need to meet the 75% present  and at least 31 days in the tax year.  

The only difference here is that  being a spouse to a citizen/Resident allows the start date  to be  01/01/2021  in lieu of first day physically present for exercising the first year  option  ( i.e. no standard deduction available )

If   you do not want to answer those  stipulations then just explain to the IRS what you are trying to do  in response  to their questions and that is it.

 

Does that clarify  or do you need more supporting  evidence/ rules ?
