Is it advisable to jointly file considering that the years she is liable to file return are years that we are in marital union

Immigration issues aside, it is probably financially advantageous if you file a joint tax return, particularly if your personal income falls under the foreign excluded income limit.

Joint return usually gives more money back. She could get a higher return rate if she files jointly.

If she has someone do her taxes for her generally they can do joint papers and married separately papers to see which will give more money back.

But if you are married you must file taxes married.

Thanks for your reply.Her income to use in filing the returns are foreign based which is below the threshold to pay US taxes, so do you recommend that we file jointly?
