1. Should I file as single or "marriied filing separately"? My wife does not have any income in india
2. Can I file tax online on turbo tax as it is asking my wife SSN(she doesnot have any ssn or tax id as she is still in india) -- i chose "married filing separately"
3. If I can't file it online what is the procedure for filing it offline?
4. How do I get taxid for my wife and Kid ? should I apply along with my tax filing this year before mar-31-2023 or can apply next year also?
5. does anybody has agent number to guid my on above things
You haven't met the Substantial Presence Test for 2022 and therefore you would be considered a nonresident and file Form 1040-NR. TurboTax does not support Form 1040-NR for a non-resident. You can prepare your return through a company we partner with called Sprintax.
You will file married filing separately, if you were married on December 31, 2022 (you cannot file jointly on Form 1040-NR).
