EU citizen
2010: entered US as F1 student
2014: got married to US spouse, filed first joint tax return
2015: second joint tax return, left US to live&work in Europe
2016/17: life in Europe
2018: entered US on non-resident H1B visa
Question: I know we could file a joint 1040 but can we also both file separate 1040, or would I have non-resident status for tax purposes in that case and have to file 1040-NR (i.e. no standard deduction). The reason I ask is because after five years as F1 student, one can automatically file as resident for tax purposes and I filed 6 years as a student.
