Hello ToddL99
Thank you for that very detailed response that clarified the confusion I had about this.
I would like to get confirmation on 2 more questions please, if you don't mind answering as well:
1) He has children, also non-resident aliens: I believe he can only claim them as qualifying relative? is that right?
2) also, just to confirm, in case he decides to file MFS for 2020, will he still have the option of filing MFJ in future years? would he need to attach a statement signed by him and his wife stating they are opting to file MFS for this tax year?
thank you again.
