Tax 2010

[KJF 0]

Hi Everyone,

I was going over the Tax related Topics and IRS site.

To confirm, it's ok to do "Married Filing jointly" if my spouse is in India and I am a USC?

I am applying for her ITIN as well and W7. We have our USCIS petition approved, but have not heard anything from NVC yet. Still, waiting.

Mean-while, there's no harm in doing "married filing jointly, right? Even, if she never has come to the US.

My only concern was NVC would not mind the above approach, right? In future when they get all my documents for support?

Thanks,

Jay

As long as you have a social security or a tax ID number for your spouse, you are good to go. If not, your best bet is to file single.

If you are married, filing as single is not an option. The choices for a married person are Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, or Head of Household if he meets the requirements.

Thank you so much, both of you.

let's not even go down that road anymore...it's been beat to death. If you are getting an ITIN then definately file jointly...it won't affect your case at NVC at all. Good luck.
