Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since you were not in the US for more than 183 days in 2017, you will not meet the substantial presence test  and will be considered a nonresident alien for US income tax purposes. (You will also be a nonresident for next year's US income tax filing.)

Since you do not meet the substantial presence test for the first year in the USA, you will be considered a nonresident alien and will file a Form 1040NR which is not supported by TurboTax. Here is a link to the IRS website for Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return. In this situation, you will only report your US sourced income on your Form 1040NR.

You will not be able to file jointly on a Form 1040NR.
