That gas been reported here on BE previously - that the popular tax prep software packages don't offer a split year function, so it sounds like nothing has changed for 2017.

From memory HR Block were the only ones that supported dual status. I opted to MFJ and be a resident for the entire year instead.

Didn't your husband come on a K-1? Specifically the rule catching Chins out is that he was on a CR-1 and got permanent residency mid year.
