Hi,

In 2016 I was resident alien (as per substantial presence) for the tax purposes and my wife was on H4 visa and did not earn anything. I filed tax returns jointly and claimed tuition benefits for paying her tuition fees i.e. 1098-T form. Now for tax year 2017, visa status has changed for my wife. While I am still resident alien, she is now on F1 student visa from July 2016 and did earn Job and now has W2 form . I was wondering if I can continue filing jointly using or Individually ( 1040NR & 1040EZ)
