Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Bkeroles1677 , based on your statement that you have passed the SPT  ( Substantial Presence Test ), generally you would  be Resident for Tax Purposes ( irrespective of your immigration status ).

Since your spouse  ( NRA )  is not present in the US,  you would need to file as MFS  (  HoH if you have qualifying dependent / relative  and for whom you maintain a household -- there are a few ands/ifs/buts on this though ).

(a) When did you enter the country ?

(b) Does your wife have income in  Egypt?

(c) Are you responsible for her support  in Egypt --- I have to refresh my memory on US-Egypt tax treaty  , but I don't think Egypt has a clause to recognize a dependent  ion Egypt of a US person.

 

I will circle back once I hear from you
