Usually the most beneficial filing status is married filing jointly.

So basically given the situation that I have never worked in the States it is still possible to file jointly? 

An if yes how exactly can this be done what are the steps /requirement for us been that i never paid taxes.

Yes, you can file married filing jointly without having ever worked in the States. But if you had income outside of the United States you will have to report this income on your tax return since US citizens/ residents have to report their worldwide income. Please see Do I need to report foreign income? for additional information.

 

TurboTax will walk you through every step to get your tax return prepared. When asked select that you wish to file married filing jointly.
