I am a US active duty military stationed in Guam. I got married to my Canadian wife June of 2024. My wife received her permanent residence status January 2025 and had a SSN when I was filling taxes so when I was filing 2024 taxes I filed as married jointly (I'm not sure if that was correct). My wife had no income in 2024 in the US, but she has income in Canada as well as business assets as a shareholder of a small corporation (no income, just property). I did not know I had to report her 2024 Canadian income or assets so I didn't do that for 2024.
My wife only filed her taxes in Canada in 2024. Do we need to amend my 2024 taxes to include her Canadian assets and income for 2024?
For 2025, she has submitted her NR73 to see if she is a taxable resident (she has been living outside of Canada and has PR status in the US, but still has the business she co-owns 1/3 of so we are unsure if she is a taxable resident).
We plan to file jointly for 2025 and report her worldwide income and assets, and if she also is determined a factual taxable resident of Canada she will file her taxes in Canada with her worldwide income and assets (we own a rental property together in Hawaii).
Is this correct? Is this something we can do with turbo tax?
