Hi guys.. I ( non-US resident, spouse of a USC) arrived in the US last Sept 2019 and we got married last Nov 2019.
1. I was working in the PHILIPPINES until August 30, 2019 ( in my home country, income taxes were automatically withheld)
2. No SSN yet ( screwed up with the SS Office, long story )
3. AOS ( filed last Dec 2019, biometrics on Jan 8, 2020 )
4. Not sure if I will get my EAD and SSN before April 2020, in time for the tax filing of my USC hubby
5. Obviously unemployed since Sept 2019
6. want to get this right since it can be an added evidence if and when we do our AOS interview
**** Question: do we have to file taxes as MFJ or MFS, taking into consideration that I don t have my SSN yet. What are the forms that we need to submit ?
*** thanks in advance for your inputs.. I do apologize if this has been asked in other forums.. also tried researching in IRS website but I got overwhelmed by their info
