Hello - I'm filing a joint 1040 tax return with my spouse who is a nonresident/noncitizen. My spouse received a W-2 from the employer, but does not have a SSN (my spouse has an ITIN). I saw that it was still possible to file jointly, but that I needed to mail in the return with a statement indicating that my spouse is a nonresident/noncitizen but for purposes of tax return only can be treated as a resident.
(1) Is this correct?
(2) We mailed in our tax return and forgot to include a statement. Can we still send/add a statement if it's needed?
Thank you.
