tax returns filing jointly vs separately

[jobseeker1]

vache returns same untunda ?

endulo returns ekkuva vaste adi cheskovacha ? Is it legal ?

Are your married? if married, file jointly. You have more advantage filing jointly.

Are you separated but not divorced? legal separation is different from divorce. If you are separated the you file married but filing separately.

If you are divorced, the you can file as "Single".  Married but filing separately is treated as "single", you will get same returns in both these cases.

Be truthful and file in right way.   This would affect your GC and Citizenship prospects in future.

My bad. I mixed two different issues together.  Tax liability is a different case.  You can file jointly or separately at your behest.

Quote

Example:

Dick Brown was a resident alien on December 31, 2016, and married to Judy, a nonresident alien. They chose to treat Judy as a resident alien and filed a joint 2016 income tax return. Because Dick left the United States on January 10, 2017, and did not return at all during the year, he was a nonresident alien for tax year 2017. Judy remained a nonresident alien for that year. Since neither Dick nor Judy was a resident alien at any time during 2017, their choice to treat Judy as a resident alien is suspended for that year. For 2017, both are treated as nonresident aliens. If Dick becomes a resident alien again in 2018, their choice to treat Judy as a resident alien is no longer suspended and they must file either joint or separate income tax returns reporting their worldwide income for tax year 2018.
