I wish I get your help! Here is my situation;
From Jan1, 2021 to October 17, 2021:
I was working in the US on H1B but living in Canada (Canada-US Commuter).
From October 18, 2021 till December 31, 2021:
Still working in the US on H1B but moved to the US and still in the US through 2022.
Throughout 2021 I have been with my wife who moved with me to the US.
The household income is my US income only.
Now, my questions are:
1- Can I apply for extension to satisfy the dual status requirements for both of myself and my wife?
2- Can we then (I and my wife) choose to be treated as residents for the entire 2021 year?? then we can file 1040 jointly. If so, how?
3- If 2 can happen and we would be treated as a US residents, should I pay taxes back to Canada for 1/1-10/17 period which is now claimed to be a US residence?
Thank you all for your help!!
