@pk ji, Thank you so much! you have been extremely kind and supportive. Just wanted to understand your instructions correctly and please confirm.
- Recommendation is to Married Filing Jointly
- I have a W2 for myself
- I have a W2 from my wife for the portion of time in 2023 (Jan to May) when she worked in US
- I have my wife's Indian tax return for the portion of time in 2023(Jun-Dec) when she worked in India
So in Turbo Tax, I would do MFJ and enter both of our W2s.
I will then use FEIE - Foreign Earned Income and Exclusions to enter the Indian Income for my wife from Jun to Dec.
By doing this, I assume it will account for the world income for my wife, and we will be paying taxes only for our W2 income is US and the Indian Income will be excluded as the taxes already paid to India on Indian income.
I hope my understanding is correct, please confirm.
Thank you
