I'm trying to fill out a w7. My wife is a non-resident spouse. She has never been to USA. We are electing to file jointly, per https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse. She is being treated a resident for tax purposes.
On w7, what should be the selection for reason to file w7.
Following options:
a. Nonresident alien required to get an ITIN to claim tax treaty benefit
b. Nonresident alien filing a U.S. federal tax return
c U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. federal tax return
d. Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien
e. Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien
If d, enter relationship to U.S. citizen/resident alien (see instructions) ▶ If d or e, enter name and SSN/ITIN of U.S. citizen/resident alien (see instructions) ▶
f. Nonresident alien student, professor, or researcher filing a U.S. federal tax return or claiming an exception g Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a U.S. visa
h. Other (see instructions)
