Yes, you can make the 6013(h) election to have your wife treated as a resident for the entire tax year.  This does require that attaching a statement making this election to your paper filed return. 

The statement should read something like "Under Section 6013(h), [Spouse name] elects to be treated as a resident for tax purposes for the entire tax year 2023."  Be sure to include Social Security number and name on this form, and sign and date it.
