Married filing jointly, even if you were married on 31st December.

A spouse is never a dependent.

Married filing either jointly or separately is the way to go unless you guys meet the guidelines for filing head of household, then that would also be an option. Do you have kids? Did you work this year?

I was married in June, Aos in October and new job On October 31st ...... when it come to tax time does my WIfe (sponsor) put me as a dependent for the 5 months or do we claim jointly as married couple ? .... Thanks looked around forums but cant find appropriate answer

YOU ARE NEVER A DEPENDENT OF YOUR WIFE!!!! NEVER!!!

Your wife has two choices if she has no children; file as married filing separately or married filing jointly.

Married filing separately means she needs nothing from you. You are not considered.

Married filing jointly means you join in filing with her. You are not her dependent. The two of you would be filing together. You would need an ITIN or SSN. You would also need to voluntarily elect to be taxed as a US taxpayer. This means you must declare the income from your country and it is subject to US taxation.

Your wife cannot file as single. She is not single.

Read this; http://www.ehow.com/how_6837433_file-taxes-foreign-spouse.html Then do a Google search - "foreign spouse filing US tax return" for more info. The information is out there.
