Hi, pk:
Thanks so much for your quick reply. Yes, you are great in picking up correct information:
1. I do not wish to submit US tax return, because I have never had a US SSN or visited USA. I have no income from USA.
2. My husband has a valid greencard, married to me last year.
I am from China and living in Shanghai. My husband has a 15 years boy born in USA living with us together. This boy will be his dependent. We do live together as a family.
In this situation, is it ok for him to file MFS (claiming the boy as his dependent) and I elect not to file?
The second question is: if I could file with him jointly in coming years, provided that I file w-7 applying a ITIN together with that tax return?
Thank again.
Best regards,
-Rita
