Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you so much for your response. 

She was filing 8843 form for excempt individual for the past 5 years (2015 till 2019) because as far as I know, the excemption still applies for immediate family members for full time students ( myself on F1). In 2020, I passed the presence test, I became resident alien, I assume she also became resident alien as well? Can we now apply as married filing jointly and apply for ITIN for her while filing? If I already filed my return as head of household, Can that be amended using turbotax? I assume I would greater refund if I did file as MFJ

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply
