    G-4 Visa and Taxes
    I am trying to figure out the best way to file my taxes. I am a US citizen and my wife is a G-4 visa holder working for an international organization. Should we file a:

    Joint tax return or
    Married filing separately, with my wife filing a 1040 non resident return

    If she files a 1040 non-resident return are her non-wage bank interest earnings taxable?

    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    If she files as a non-resident alien, then her bank interest is NOT taxable.

    If she files jointly with you, then her interest is taxable.
