@DaveF1006, thank you for that clarification.
We are not 100% sure about MFS vs MFJ yet. We haven't fully assessed the long term implications of the 6013g election (to treat nonresident alien spouse as resident for tax purposes)...since it's a lifetime election and one can only chose and revoke the election once.
It may be possible that we amend the 2024 return later, once my spouse is issued a residence card (no need for W7 / ITIN if amending at that point, I think?).
Given the uncertainly of filing, would it be OK to leave Spouse SSN/ITIN blank?
Thanks again.
