Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The IRS requires me to put my spouses' information down on my return even though I'm filing as single-married status, she doesn't live in the US (we live in Canada full time), and she has no job or income from the US. 


So why would my spouse be required to pay tax every single year just because I have to put them down once for my filing? That doesn't make any sense. That means my spouses' tax costs just doubled each year because they have to file for 2 countries even though they only work and live in one
