After two years of tax exemption, does a J1 visa holder consider as a resident with the possibility to fill a jointly tax return when married?

No don't give back the federal tax that was withheld.  This would be a thankless gesture and you won't receive a thank you note from the government.

Instead, file as a 1040 NR return to receive that money back. While Turbo Tax does not handle non-resident returns, you can do so through sprintax.com, which is our affiliates. Select the link and get started to receive that federal tax that was withheld.
