Stayed all year in 2024, am i eligible to file as a resident for tax purposes (MFJ)?
Hi,
I arrived in the US in Aug 2023, been working part time and student full time, haven't left the US since. I got married in 2024. Am I eligible to file 2024 taxes as a resident for tax purposes, and am I eligible to file online with my wife Married Filing Jointly without the need to mail them a declaration letter that my wife and I consider me a resident for this year's taxes?
We met with a tax accountant at our university who said since I have stayed for more than 183 days in 2024 then I'm eligible to file as a resident for tax purposes. I just don't want to mess anything up.
What do I select when filing taxes with my wife on turbotax?
Thank you
