Hi all, this is probably going to be a long question.
I filed the tax return in 2016 for the year 2015 as a single using sprintax. I am on F1 visa since 2013 so I probably come under the non-resident alien category. My fiance will be coming to the US on an F1 visa in September 2016. We will be getting married in October 2016 in the US. I have an income right now and SSN whereas my Fiance will be a full time student with no income so will I be able to claim her as a dependent on my tax return for the Fiscal Year 2016? I will mostly be paying for the tuition fees and all other educational expenses for my Fiance.
I know there is the physical presence test which has to be met in order for me to be able to claim any dependents but I am not quite sure how to file our tax returns as. Married filing together or married filing separately?
I also plan on taking a student loan for her on my name so will I get any tax deductions for that?
What would happen if she gets a job but the gross income is less than 4000$ a year. Can I still claim her as dependent.
Thanks in Advance!
