This may have been answered before buy couldn't find anything specific. 

 

I have seen that the MFS process you put NRA in the non residents SSN. However I do have a SSN from a previous work visa. 

 

Do we file with the non residents SSN or still NRA?

We placed my husbands SSN in. He had previously had two J-1 visas so he had a SSN also.

Use the SSN.  "NRA" is only used if the non-resident alien has neither a SSN nor ITIN.

Yes you can put your SSN on MFS which means you can also file it online.

Any reason not filing MFJ since you already have the SSN?

Yea I have one from a previous J1 it was because I had no work authorization in 2017 so wasn't sure if I should file a tax return with no earnings or authorization?

It doesn’t make a difference. Your SSN does not change whether you are nonresident or resident or whether you are allowed to work or not.

 

If you have no income in 2017 whether in US or worldwide, filing MFJ gives a load of return than filing MFS.

OK thanks. That's a more clear than having to do something differently. Thanks all for responses
