Joint filing with a US Citizen/Non-Resident

Im a US citizen who got married last year to a non-resident who is currently working under a J-1 visa. Is it alright to file jointly this year? My understanding is that a non resident that is married to a US citizen or US resident can choose to be evaluated as a US citizen. If correct, is it possible to file using turbotax or will I have to seek help?
