Generally, J-2 is a dependent visa and therefore tax status ( i.e. Resident for tax purposes  vs. NRA ), is the same as that of the dominant visa holder.

Thus if your spouse ( J-2 holder ) has left the USA and so informed the  USCIS to cancel the J-2 visa, then  ( and absent any other  contravening facts/circumstances) her status would be disconnected from yours  i.e. revert to NRA for tax purposes.

Which country are you from ?  Is she from the same country ?  When did you enter the US with J-1 and as what ( student/ trainee/ researcher/ teacher/ prof. / ??) ?

I will circle back once I hear from you -- yes ?
