@pk ,
Yes, I’m aware that she will also be considered dual-status. However, since she doesn’t have any income at all, and we will be filing as MFS for the first part of the year and as NR for the second part, I was wondering whether she would need to file at all. My understanding is that I would file as MFS and NR, while she wouldn’t need to file a return. Could you please confirm if that’s correct?
I thought you was there more recently. I heard people talking about this crazy inflation time in Brazil: my father in law said it was common, at least where he lived, to buy dollars when receiving the salary so the money would not lose its value throughout the month.
Best regards,
Felipe
