Hello @sambhavjain
I am in the similar situation and I would like to confirm with you about my understanding.
I came to US in Sept 2019 in H1 and my wife in Oct 2019 in H4. So for the tax filing of 2019, we both can file jointly by availing the First Year Choice as we both have satisfied the 31 day period and 75% of days till the end of year criteria. But when it comes to SPT, I will be satisfying the test in May 2020 whereas my wife will satisfy only in June 2020. So in this case, I should go ahead and file extension first which is Form 4868 asking them for an extension till June 2020 along with Form W-7 for my wife for ITIN and once both of us satisfy the SPT, I should file 1040.
Is this correct? Please correct me if I am missing something here. I am filing for the first time and I don't want to screw it up. Thanks in advance
