@DaveF1006 - Yes, I want to claim first-year choice after I pass SPT for 2024 to become a part-year resident for 2023. Since I'll be a resident for tax purposes at the end of 2023 with first year choice, I believe I can claim my nonresident spouse as a resident in a joint return. If I do so, then I will also be treated as a resident for the entire 2023 tax year (according to this: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse). Is my thought process correct?
