2021 Tax filing on H1b visa

TurboTax Premier will work for you as long as neither of you are self-employed and need to deduct business-related expenses.   

 

Also you must be legal residents of the USA to use TurboTax.   TurboTax does not support tax filing for Non-Residents (1040-NR).   Your spouse and each dependent must have either a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in order to be claimed as a dependent.  

 

The IRS uses two tests—the green card test and the substantial presence test—for assessing your alien status. If you satisfy the requirements of either one, you’re considered a resident alien for income tax purposes; otherwise, you’re treated as a non-resident alien.

 

If you're an alien with a green card, meaning the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service allows you to reside in the country legally, you are a resident alien. However, if you don’t have a green card and spend at least 31 days in the U.S. during the current tax year and a total of 183 days during the last three tax years (inclusive of the current tax year), you’ll usually satisfy the physical presence test and are also treated as a resident alien.  

 

If you have a nonresident spouse, see Nonresident Alien Spouse.
