Deductions & credits

@gmais28  thank you for your answers to my questions.  Based on your answers  :

 

(a)  Your spouse is probably a resident for tax purposes

(b) If that is true then you two can file MFJ for 2024

(c) I am assuming here that has filed returns for 2022 and 2023 as  Non-Resident and that currently she  is  on some visa  , like K  or similar  ( to stay legally in the USA ).

 

(D) if on the other hand  and based on exact facts and circumstances  she is not a  resident for tax purposes . then  

         1.  you can file jointly  and include a letter signed by both of you that you would like  that she  be treated as a resident for tax purposes.   Note that this selection stays valid in forward years, unless cancelled.

         2.  In such a case  her residency starts  from the first day of presence in the tax year  ( excluding any "exempt" status days).

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
