I'm an H1-B holder and a resident for tax purposes. My status was married on Dec 31st, 2019.
My wife is also an H1-B holder but she only started her status on Oct 1st, 2019. Before that she was earning on F1/OPT status. This makes her a non resident for tax purposes since she doesn't meet the substantial presence requirement. People who don't qualify for substantial presence test are required to file 1040-NR, not 1040.
I know that Turbo Tax doesn't support filing a 1040-NR, they only support 1040. For 1040-NR, Turbo Tax redirects people to their partner Sprintax. I know this because the same thing happened to me 3 years ago.
So in this case when I am required to file 1040 and my wife is required to file 1040-NR, is there a way I could still use TurboTax for joint filing? Or since TurboTax don't do 1040-NR, it will recommend me to either file separate or do a joint filing via Sprintax?
