Get your taxes done using TurboTax

 By yourself, you are a nonresident and you would file a form 1040NR.   TurboTax does not support this form, you will need to see another tax provider. If your spouse does not have US income, then there would be no reason for them to file any tax return at all. 

 If you want to file a joint return, then you need to make an election to treat yourself as a US resident. This means you must report and pay tax on all your worldwide income.  Whether you would owe less tax filing a 1040NR married filing separately, or a resident married filing jointly form 1040, would have to be tested.
