Hello, I am US citizen and my spouse has no SSN or never worked in the USA. My spouse was a student many years ago but left the country after completed the study. She never had income in the USA but he works in her country right now. I believe I don't need to include her foreign income on my tax return right? This is my first time filing taxes after marriage. I will file my taxes "MARRIED FILING SEPERATLY" Turbo tax doesn't let me enter "NO SSN" for my spouse so I'm confused. Please help me with 3 simple questions that I have: 1 - Can I e-file my tax return? Which software/company is suggested to use? 2 - I heard I have to physically mail my taxes if I want to file "married filing separately" is this true? 3 - Is filing separately an issue at the interview? Thank you in advance. Joseph.

thank you both so much.

Hi, I am naturalized us citizen and married my spose in our home country. We are originally from same country, my wife asked me a question and i cannot find the answer. of course i came here. thankful for you guys. I had a marriage and divorce years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. I don't think I registered that marriage/divorce (don't know if it is a requirement) in our foreign home country. My previous Marriage took place in the usa and we got divorced here legally in the usa. 5 years after this divorce i married my current wife. We married in our home country and she is now going through green card process there. She needs to submit divorce decree for my previous marriage which is fine. I have divorce decree issued here in the us. it is valid and good. Is the divorce decree acceptable and enough? in our case, it was issued by the state of Georgia. My wife asked me if the embassy needs to see divorce decree from the country where the embassy is? I am still a citizen of my home country but divorce doesn't exist there because marriage and divorce happened here in the usa years ago. I didn't even visit my country during that marriage so i think they were never informed about the marriage and divorce. I have submitted my divorce decree with I130 application. is that documentation enough for my wife to bring to interview? thank you guys, my question is simple but i hope i didn't make it sound complicated. Joseph.
