My husband and I have a work permit as Asylum seekers and this is our second year filing taxes. The first time we filled as Married filling jointly but I am not sure if we are considered non-resident aliens or if for tax purposes we qualify to file as residents under the substantial presence test.
When completing our W-4 we marked Married filling separately since we are non-resident aliens but I am not sure now that affects the way we fille taxes too.
