If you are both non-resident aliens, then no, you cannot file a joint return.   In order to file a joint return, one of you would have to a resident alien, then the other would have to choose to be treated as a resident alien. 

 

If you are both nonresident aliens, you would need to file a form 1040NR which TurboTax does not support but our partner Sprintax does and can help with your non resident return.
