U.S. Income tax question

[rjp44 1]

I'm wondering if anyone had experiece with being married while waiting on the CR1 visa but none of your spouse's income was earned in the U.S.

Was any of your spouse's income treated as taxable here, or was it just treated as reportable and the only tax due on their income was to the Philippine Internal Revenue? How did the Philippines treat your income on your spouse's taxes.

Thanks for any answers.

I am not sure if my answer is the kind of answer you are looking for. However, yes I filed my income with IRS as married and while waiting for the CR1, however his income was never included in mine since:

(1) He is not a residence of US

(2) He does not have a SSN (but you could apply for a TIN at SSN)

(3) His income is not taxable in the US

Note: Whatever he has earned in the Phils is only due to the Philippines Internal Revenue, and can not include mine being in the US and a USC, even if we are married.

while waiting for the CR1 visa, my hubby filed his income tax return with the IRS and did not include my income earned here in the philippines. just like what sis rina did. though he already applied for my TIN when he filed the income tax return.

I did find out at the IRS site that a foreign national can not have both a TIN and SS number. Since we ask for a SS # in the DS-230 (CR1) I think I'll have to wait for that to file my taxes. That shouldn't be a problem though, as we will return about 3 weeks before the taxes are due. Thanks for the help.

I filed a joint return when my wife [K3K4] was still in the Philippines. Just included a ITIN application when I filed.

Her income wasn't used to qualify for the I-134. I just did so to show more evidence of a bonafide marriage.

IRS gave her a ITIN but wouldn't for anak.

You does not have SSN card. You can claim him until your spouse is in the US and gets SSN. Then you can claim and redo your taxes. Spouse income in the Philippines is not taxable in the US, but any taxes your spouse pays to the Philippines on Internal Revenue you can use. I suggest you get someone that know ins and outs of international tax to help you do your taxes once your spouse get the SSN. GOOD LUCK.
