Hi Thomas,
Thank you for the response. I wanted to hear your thoughts on my unique situation below:
1: My status: H1B visa from 2016, citizen of Nepal.
2. My wife: Citizen of Nepal, lived in the US with me until the Dec 23, 2017. Has SSN.
3. Two kids born in the US: daughter: 7-13-2016. and son: 9-13-2017
4. Wife and kids lived in Nepal from Dec 25, 2017 to Jan 16, 2020, and returned to the US on Jan 17, 2020.
Questions:
Do I file my tax return as married filing jointly or separately or single or otherwise for the tax years 2018 and 2019?
Can I claim child tax credits or other dependent credits for the given years?
I supported my wife and kids 100% while they were in Nepal. My wife did not earn any money in the tax year.
Thank you again
Baru
