Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can file a joint return with your spouse if you file an election to file a married filing jointly return.

You can claim an exemption for your US citizen daughter but you cannot claim an exemption for your son and he was not a US resident in 2018.

Your daughter would be a US citizen, and as she stayed with your wife the whole year, you can enter 12 months.

For your son, you would enter that he is not a US citizen or resident alien and that he lived with you the entire 12 months as he lived with your wife.
