Hello @DoninGA and @MaryK4 ! Follow-up question to both of you. My NRA wife didn't earn any income in the US and she's been living and working in a foreign country for the entire year of 2019. Based on your replies, I need to file as "Married Filing Separately". In that case, I do not need to apply for an ITIN for my NRA spouse to be able to file MFS, correct?
Also, do you know if I need to attach anything with my return aside from the usual W-2 and 1099? Sorry, this is the first time I am filing by mail and as married.
Thank you so much for your help!
No, you do not need to apply for an ITIN for her if you are going to file as Married Filing Separately.
There is nothing you need to send with your tax return concerning your NRA spouse.
