@Navidht , thank you for your response.
1. Note that you would need a TIN ( Tax ID -- SSN or ITIN ) for your spouse to be able to include the NRA spouse on your return .
2. For MFJ with an NRA spouse , the spouse must agree to be treated as a resident for tax purposes i.e. expose his/her world income to US taxes. At the same time though (and with a foreign tax home, a tax treaty in effect) that "foreign" income may be eligible for FEIE.
Which country are we talking about ?
Is there more I can do for you ?
