Good Afternoon,
My wife and I got married in 2019 and I would prefer to file as married jointly. However, before we were married she was on a J-1 visa as an Au Pair nanny through a certified company and I am a U.S. Citizen. She was paid through the host family/company and typically filed a 1040-NR-EZ to pay her portion of taxes in the past. However, now that we are married and awaiting her permanent resident card, she is technically a "Resident" and is in the middle of AOS change of status, and legally not under any visa. I was wondering if we should have her file separately a 1040-NR-EZ and I file my own taxes. Or can we can combine and file jointly while including the 1040 NR form? Or should we file jointly together, and simply submit the 1040-NR and payment separately?
Thank you for your time,
