We’re filing jointly as a married couple for the first time. I’m a U.S. citizen and my wife is a non-resident alien. I understand that we need to include a statement electing to treat her as a resident for tax purposes in order to file jointly.
My question is: can we still e-file in this case, or does this require a paper submission? Also, does TurboTax generate that election statement automatically, or would we need to print and sign it separately before submitting?
