Can I file a joint-return on my first year?
Hello community!
I arrived in the USA at the beginning of 2023 with my wife (from Canada) and were therefore non-residents at the beginning of the year, but both residents at the end of the year (L visa, with presence test, both of us have SSN).
Can I use TurboTax to do a joint return in this case or must do dual-return without TurboTax then (1040-NR not supported)?
Based on publication 519, there's a paragraph regarding "Choosing Resident Alien Status" which requires that my wife and I both write a statement to apply to be considered a US resident for the entire year and be able to make a joint return. Just want confirmation that I understood everything and no other implications.
Thanks for your help!
