Hi Atlanta Tax Expert

I was on a F1 visa until June 2006, then switched to the E3 visa for Australians from July. I have filed my taxes as a dual-status alien and completed Form 1040 with 1040NR as a supporting statement for my non-resident status at the start of the year.

I am wondering what if any forms I need to file for my wife who was on a F2 visa and is now on a spouse E3 visa. She does not work and has no income - as a F2 holder, I filed Form 8843 for her, but it does not seem required for her now. Does she need to file any forms given that she does not earn any income?

Thanks!

She has NO forms to file! You are good to go!
