Non resident Alien spouse with ITIN living abroad in a restricted country (CUBA)
Hi,
Last year I filed by paper with help of a tax specialist because I am married to a non resident alien, we got her an ITIN number at the same time we summited the tax return and requested her to be treated as a resident alien. I have some questions for this year return which I want to file electronically via TurboTax Premier:
1) Is the ITIN supported in TurboTax? It asks for the SSN, can I type the ITIN of my wife?
2) Do we have to check somewhere that se is non resident alien treated as a resident? I cannot find anywhere to put that information in TurboTax.
3) She made working in Cuba (a restricted country) the equivalent of 200 USD or less, should I report this? Is it illegal to make money in a restricted country or it just cannot be excluded? Also there is a question that ask if the money was made in a restricted country, what are the consequences of reporting this. She was born there and we are waiting an inn-migration visa so is not like she want to violate the US law of making money in a restricted region.
thanks in advance and have a good day
