Good thing about filimg joint taxes with foreign spouse
*I am a full time college student & no income per say
*My foreign wife made $5000.00 in foreign income
* We signed a joint letter to IRS to have my wife be treated as a U.S.
resident for tax purposes and in doing so she is required to report
her worldwide income.
* Now when we file our taxes - we will max out on the earned income
credit :-)
Anyone else do this too?
