Hello,
Is there a way to file as married filing jointly if we want to file dual status? I would be a resident alien for the whole year, and my husband would be the one to change from nonresident to resident. On the IRS website, we found that we can file married filing jointly if the person who wants to file dual status is married to a resident alien. Having said that, we would need to attach a 1040NR as a statement form, but it cannot be filed as married filing jointly. I tried to get the answer to this on TurboTax live chat (they sent me to Sprintax); on Sprintax they tell me that we cannot file 1040NR there because they don't support dual status.
Thank you.
