Hello,
I have a complicated case which I need help with.
I came to US in 2017 on J1 visa and returned home in 2018.
Came back to the States on F1 visa on 2020.
So according to this timeline I am regarded as resident alien for 2023.
My spouse/daughter first time ever entered US on F2 was in 2021 so based on the 5 years exemption rule, they should be non-residents.
I have some questions:
1- Are they regarded as non-residents or their status changed because of my change in status ?
2- If I can claim/add them to my tax return, how can I apply for ITIN for them and when to apply?
3- how should I file for 2023?
Thanks,
