Hi,
I am on H1B visa since 2016 (resident alien) and my wife came to the US in Aug 2019 on F1 visa (non-resident alien). We filled our 2019 taxes with a tax professional as "Married Filing Jointly" status. I remember discussing it with my tax consultant, but not sure if he did explicitly request a "resident alien" status for my wife to IRS (by mailing physical copies of my tax returns and a resident alien status request form).
Given that I received my 2019 tax refunds without any issues, can I e-file my 2020 taxes with TurboTax as "Married Filing Jointly" ? or do I need to mail IRS a physical copy of my returns and a request form to treat my wife as a "resident alien" as she is still on her F1 visa?
