Get your taxes done using TurboTax
No. You are still a nonresident alien for stimulus purposes. On the stimulus payment screen, enter that you received the full stimulus amounts ($1,200 and $600) even though you did not so TurboTax can calculate your spouse's stimulus.
If you enter $0, TurboTax will give you the stimulus by mistake because there are no questions asking whether or not you are a resident alien.,
The IRS says, "Under a new law enacted in December 2020, a married couple filing a joint return now may be eligible for a partial credit when only one spouse has a Social Security number valid for employment.
If you and your spouse did not receive one or both Economic Impact Payments because one of you did not have a Social Security number valid for employment, you should complete the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet or use tax preparation software to determine if you may claim a Credit on your 2020 tax return for the spouse with the Social Security number valid for employment. If eligible for a Recovery Rebate Credit, you claim it on line 30 of your 2020 tax return."
