Thanks.
Following up on my question 1. Let's say I "paper-file" the 2025 tax return. Can I do that with my baby as a dependent without my foreign national spouse ? If so, what filing status can I use ?
Yes, your child can be your dependent regardless of whether you file as married filing jointly or married filing separately. You don't need to include your spouse in order to claim your child.
