Resident Status

Hi,

 

I came to the U.S. as a student (F-1) in Aug '20, and my status changed to F-1 OPT after graduation. I was selected for H-1B, so my status was changed from F-1 to H-1B in Nov '24. In this case, am I a resident for '24 tax filing and can use TurboTax? Or am I still non-resident as of '24 and need to submit 1040NR?

 

I'm also curious how I should file my wife (F-2 to H-4). She wasn't eligible for working, so she couldn't have an SSN or ITIN for tax purposes. If the latter is the case in the previous question (needing to file 1040NR), she can't still apply for ITIN this year, correct?

 

Thank you so much in advance.
