Hello everyone!

 

Hope this is the correct place to post in but have been looking for a straight forward answer on the questions I have after reviewing threads for the past few days here and on other sources.

 

I am a U.S. citizen and my wife is a Canadian permanent resident (she is an Indian citizen) who currently works in Canada (no U.S. based income whatsoever). I currently have her I-130 filed with USCIS as of September of 2023. We got married in August of 2023 and this will be my first year filing taxes not being single. I’m confused on whether if I should file as MFS or MFJ really. I’m hoping to get some clarification on what are the benefits and options here. My income was around $60K USD and hers was around $50K CAD if that helps. I had read about foreign tax credits but not too well versed on what that meant.

 

Thank you for the assistance!
