On Foreign accounts, TurboTax asked if I lived abroad, and since I did, it had a higher threshold for filing 8938. But we were living in the U.S. in 2016 and my wife is a U.S. resident only, not a U.S. Citizen. The IRS instructions seem to say that if a U.S. citizen ever lived abroad, then the higher thresholds apply according to the presence abroad test, but for a U.S. resident, then the time abroad had to intersect the tax year in question. So if I meet the test and she doesn't because she's not a U.S. citizen, then which threshold applies to us on a joint return?
