Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As your husband is a resident alien for tax year 2025, he can choose to treat you, his nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident for tax purposes and file as MFJ.

 

He has until the due date of his 2025 tax return to make the election by attaching a statement to your 2025 joint return.

 

In the meantime, you can submit a form W-4 as Married filing jointly to your new employer.

 

Please read this IRS document for more information.
