Hi All,
I came to the US on an L-1 visa in December 2023 with a start date of January 1st, 2024 with my employer. My wife was in the US before I came, working on F-1 OPT for her employer and we need to file taxes for her.
I have a couple of things to ask:
1. Can she file taxes as a resident under "Married filing jointly"? She has been claiming exemptions on Social security and FICA, which I assume will go away if she files under MFJ. Can somebody throw some light on this subject?
2. I received no W-2 from my employer for 2023. Should I be filing any forms with IRS for 2023, however?
Please advise. Thanks,
