F1 Student Resident Alien filing with F2 dependent
Hi,
I entered the US in August 2016 and this year I am qualified to file taxes as a resident alien. I got married in November 2021 and my wife is currently on F2 visa. I have two main questions:
1. Should I file jointly, considering that I am the only earning member in the household? (I was not a dependent of any other person)
2. My wife is on a dependent visa and hence she does not yet possess an SSN or ITIN. My university has no idea how to provide an ITIN for her either. How should I go about this?
I understand that these questions are rather specific, but I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks,
