@riya0018-rm , need to understand the situation before one can safely / correctly answer your questions. My questions / comments are in italics below
My husband and I recently married and want to ensure compliance.
When exactly did you get married ? Was it in the USA or in a different country ( generally US will recognize marriage completed under the laws of most countries ) ?
I’m on an H1B visa, residing in the USA since January 2020. My husband is on an F1 visa, residing in the USA since July 2022.
When was your status change effected ? Were you transitioned / status changed from F-1 to H1-B ? Which country are you from ?
When you say Jan 2020 -- do you mean your H-1B was effected in Jan 2020, or that you met SDPT in Jan 2020 or that you entered the country with visa ( F-1) in Jan 2020 ?
When did your spouse enter the country with F-1 ? Which country is he from ?
We previously filed taxes individually through Sprintax.
Did you file 2020 / 2021/ 2022 and 2023 with SprinTax or what ? And if so why ( if your H-1B was effective from 2020 ? I am missing something here . Or did you mean that your spouse used SprinTax during those years ?
We’re considering using TurboTax, which supports Form 1040 for resident aliens. I have a few questions: Am I considered a resident alien for tax purposes? Should I file Form 1040 or 1040-NR? Can we file jointly using Form 1040, or should we continue filing separately?
These last few questions should become answerable ONLY after you answer my questions above --yes ?
I will circle back once I hear from you
