Thank you very much!
So is that my only option to file either jointly or separately treating my spouse as a resident alien for tax purposes? Is there any other option that would allow us to file online, does she have to be treated as a resident alien?
Since she has no income to file and no SSN or ITIN or green card yet, can I file as single this time or is that not legal since we are married?
We also have a baby born last month that I'll be claiming as a dependent if that changes anything.
If given an option I would strongly prefer filing online instead of mailing simply because it's faster and more secure. I understand we won't have as many deductions but I do not believe that will make any significent difference in my case since I already have rental property deductions. I don't know how long we'll have to wait for the refund if we file with a W-7 and they have to process that first.
Thank you
John
