@jickky91 thank you very much for your response.
Assuming that "in two months" means sometime in November, you really have two choices:
(a) Choice -1 Since you both have J visa and according to this IRS page Departing alien clearance (Sailing Permit) | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov), you are exempt from needing to file 1040-C, you only need to let the Immigration (UCIS ) know that you are exiting the country -- form I-94 and terminating your J visa. By cancelling your visa in November and leaving the country , you will end up with the need to file a 1040-NR for that one month to keep your foreign earnings out of your US World income. But by this you also will lose the capability to use standard deduction and therefore increase in tax liability. This will need form 1040 and form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax ).
(b) Choice-2 you either delay your departure or filing of the immigration notice till Dec 31st. This will allow you to use the standard deduction and thus reduce your tax burden, and the need for "dual status" i.e.. no 1040-NR required.
Only you can decide which path benefits you more ( taxwise ).
Is there more I can do for you ?
