Deductions & credits

Hello,

This is regarding the tax filing for the tax year 2021. I got married in 2020 and here's the info of our visa staus.

My wife:

F1/OPT: 2018 - Oct 2021

H1B: starting from Nov 2021

Me:

F1/OPT: 2018 - Oct 2021

H1B: starting from Oct 2021

 

Per my understanding, we can file as NRA for the entire year 2021, or file as dual-status alien using FYC. The questions is given the marriage status, what other filing options do we have for the tax year 2021? For example can we do married filing jointly?

Thanks!
