According to IRS.gov, Generally, neither you nor your spouse can claim tax treaty benefits as a resident of a foreign country for a tax year for which the choice is in effect. This means that your wife will not be able to receive a credit for the taxes paid to a foreign country unless there is a savings clause in the tax treaty that provides an exception.
You do not need a W2 to report her income. You would report it by going to;
- Go to federal>wages and income
- Less common income>miscellaneous income
- Go to other reportable income
- Enter a description of your foreign income and the amount
It depends on the foreign income investments that need to be reported.
- Go to federal wages and income. From here you can report interest and dividends by going to interest and dividends. Here you can report interest and dividends information.
- For stocks and bonds or other investments you will enter these in a section entitled Investment Income.
