Greetings!
I'm a resident alien (L1 visa holder) who got married Oct 2024 in my home country.
My spouse (L2 visa holder) has only came to live with me in US January 2025. My spouse already got her SSN and currently unemployed.
Can we file jointly for the tax year 2024 as a resident alien with Non-resident alien spouse by using the "Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident" option? If YES, can we do it electronically with TurboTax since she already have a SSN?
If we need to do it manually, what are the required steps? If we can file jointly, what action/info needed from my spouse?
Please advise. Thank you!
