I finally started filing and I already don't know how to answer these properly.
My wife is Korean (never set foot on US soil so is an NRA -- has NO TAX LIABILITY TO THE US!) so I will have to file Married filing separately and apparently print it out and write NRA as she has no SSN/ITIN and there is NO reason for her to get one (except for the IRS to take foreign money they are not owed from a nonresident alien who will never live in the US, right?) Ok sorry for the mini rant.
What do I do on these screens?
First page:
- Pretty sure I check she is an NRA on the first page and move on, right?
Second page:
- Of course she has income IN KOREA (nothing to do with US) so what do I do with that checkbox? She has no US-taxable or US-made income. She's an NRA.
- What about her "filing a tax return". Of course she will not file a US return. She will file her normal KOREAN return.
- She is not a dependent of anyone in any country (Korea or US), so I assume I select no there?
TIA.
