Hello, all.

i am wondering exactly what process to follow to file taxes in the US as the Canadian wife of a US citizen.

We got married in the US in 2014 and are planning on filing our 2014 US taxes as a married couple. I already filed my Canadian taxes and am waiting on my return.

Do I need to wait to get the Canadian tax return to file the US taxes? Since I won't get my Canadian return by April 15, we are both thinking of filing individually for an extension of our US taxes. Is that right? My hubby will file the 4686 - but what about me?

Should I file the regular 4686 extension form or form 2350 and then file the 2555? That's essentially my question - should I file a normal extension and then fill out a standard 1040 with hubby or do I file a 2350 and then a 2555 and then a 1040?

Confused!

The good thing is i already have a SS from a previous OPT, so I'm OK on that front. Does this matter for anything?

Please advise, brilliant immigration humans!
