Hi all. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything that answers my specific question. Someone will probably provide a direct link to a thread answering this...
I entered the US in October 2018 on a K-1 visa. I married my USC wife in November 2018, and have now submitted forms for adjustment of status, employment and travel - my biometrics appointment is next week, though these are all being processed. I do not yet have a Social Security Number, and am not working/earning. I did however earn money in my home country (UK) for much of last year (until July 2018).
My wife wants to submit her tax returns shortly, but we are not entirely sure how/what to submit on the 1040 with reference to our marriage and my dependency.
As her filing status, must she choose 'Married filing jointly' or 'Married filing separately', and either way, what do I need to provide? I guess I am currently a dependent of her?
Thanks in advance!
