I am on H1 visa. My wife came to US on H4 visa in 2015, converted to F1 Visa in April 2018. I have always filed joint return using TurboTax ,even for 2018.
But now since 2019 she is purely on F1 visa.
1. I wanted to confirm if she is in dual staus return? Can she file as non resident or resident alien for year 2019? She has income in 2109.
2. If filing jointly, can I use TurboTax? I understand it has to be paper file only with a statement. And what about state taxes? Can they be efile? What's the process for states.
3. From next year onwards can we just use efile? And can we choose to file separately and can she choose to file as non resident again?
4. Last year for financial year 2018, I did efile using TurboTax. Was that a mistake and Do I need to file amendment?
Any guidance is highly appreciated.
