Deductions & credits

Thanks so much for the reply. I think I am not fully understanding this, let me try to elaborate. Assume my wife owns the property now, and this year will sell it. If I elect to file for my taxes "married filing separately", then I would exclude my wife's information on my tax return. As my wife is Canadian and has no US assets or income from the US, there is really no reason for her to file US taxes for 2024.

   But are you suggesting that since I have treated her as a resident alien for prior tax purposes, that she is obligated to file US taxes moving forward, even if we are filing separately indefinitely?
