Hello, is it possible to file as married filing jointly if my wife lives and works in Turkey? I will be moving there as well. Thanks

She is also a Turkish national. Thanks

It depends. US citizens and residents can choose to file with a nonresident spouse. Nonresident aliens cannot file jointly. IRS will tax both your incomes. See Nonresident Spouse

 

In order to file together, your nonresident spouse will need a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
