@Cardinals9 , as I read your post, what I get is (a) you are US citizen and living in the USA; (b) your spouse , a Non-Resident Alien / Resident for Tax purposes , was in the USA on work visa -- hence the SSN and have since gone back to his/her home country with the visa terminated and therefore is now Non-Resident Alien; (c) you want to file Married Filing Joint return for 2019; (d) your spouse has world income from his home country---
Does the above generally describe the situation ( and if not please correct )
When did your spouse leave USA and how did you file in 2018 ( filing status and whose name was first on the return)? Your spouse is a citizen/resident of which country ? Which state do you have home in? Is your spouse supporting you or you are also employed ?
