National Visa Center (Dept of State)	AOS package..question about tax	Thank you for the link. I do not pass the substantial presence test, since I was an exempt individual (F-1 student) before getting green card, and I didn't have 183 days after getting green card in 2013, since I became a permanent resident on August 6th.. So does that mean I have to attach a statement to file tax jointly with my husband? How are you and your spouse filing tax?	Coleman21	Female	Japan	2014-02-03 18:37:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)	AOS package..question about tax	No problem. If you're sending the 2013 tax return, you don't have to send 2012. USCIS requires the latest tax return only, so you're good. I have a question for you, too... I posted this on Visa Journey, but I haven't got a reply yet, so I was wondering if you could.. Did you and your husband file tax as "married filing jointly"? My husband and I have been married for 2 years, but I was an international student until last August, so this is our first time filing tax together, and we are very confused. IRS says that if I was a non-resident alien and a resident alien in the same year, I have to declare that my husband and I choose ourselves to be treated as resident aliens for the entire 2013 in order to file jointly. But my husband is a US citizen, so I don't understand why he has to be treated as a resident alien. Putting that aside, I am wondering if I really have to attach a statement for the declaration, because that means we have to file tax by mail, so that we can attach a statement. But I want to file electronically if that's possible, because it's easier. Did you and your husband ever go through this? Did you write a statement and send it with tax form by mail? When I was a non-resident alien, I was working in the USA, and I had no income from outside the USA, so I don't even see the point in telling the IRS that I was a non-resident alien and a resident alien last year and that I want to be treated as a resident alien for the entire year, because if I just file jointly with my husband electronically, I would be treated the same way anyway, wouldn't I?? Sorry if this is too confusing... the thing I'm referring to is found in this link: http://www.irs.gov/p...blink1000222177 "Choosing resident alien status" is the section that applies to me. Thanks!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	AOS package..question about tax	if his 2013 tax return is better, i would put 2013 tax return, but if you guys need to send AOS package sooner than he gets his tax return, i think 2012 is fine, since tax filing has just started.
