Thank you for your response.
I would like to know if I can file my taxes using the standard deduction and simply forego any refund that may be due from the taxes that were withheld from my income. Is it possible to do so without claiming the refund?
Additionally, my spouse is currently employed in the United States. If we choose to file our taxes as "Married Filing Separately" (MFS) and I decide not to claim any tax treaty benefits, would that allow us to file as resident aliens for tax purposes?
