Here are some details:
Dec 2015: got married to US citizen
January 2016: started working in the US under F1 OPT (in the meantime, my spouse and I applied to change my legal status to permanent resident). During this time at work, I paid FICA taxes.
January 2017: received my green card and now my legal status changed to permanent resident.
My spouse and I would like to file our taxes for 2016 jointly and treat me as permanent resident (although I was not until Jan 17). Can this be done with TurboTax? My understanding is that we would need to send an attachment stating that we are deciding to treat me as a permanent resident. Is this something that TurboTax offers? Also, will I get reimbursed for the FICA taxes that I paid while under OPT if we file jointly?
