Hi all,

does anyone know of tax deductions for the US spouse who is married to a foreign woman and bringing her to the US on an immigrant visa?

For example, are any travel expenses deductable? Support payments? The wedding? (in Manila)

Thanks

Um, if you were in business for yourself. (like I am).

And your fiancee/wife had a degree in your line of work. (Like Emely does)

And you had your business partner fly over with you to meet said recruit (my business partner, who's also filipino, did)

And you intend to hire her as soon as it's legal for her to work in the US (I do)

You MIGHT, and I say MIGHT, be able to legitimately say it was a recruiting expense.

None of the expenses are deductible.

If you are living overseas and then you and your spouse move to the US so that you can take on a new job here (or a transferred position here), your moving and travel expenses may be deductible. Consult a qualified tax professional.
