How do I file for 2009 taxes if I married someone who did not have a green card yet?
Hello, I am a US citizen who got married in 2009 to a J1 Visa holder so that he can apply for a green card - he filed for this change of status in October 2009. We're still in the middle of the process now, and we have his green card interview in February 2010. I'm trying to file my taxes for this year... Although we're married now, he was a on a J1 Visa in all of 2009 and did not have any income in the US - (but he did get paid a research stipend, but since he was not a US citizen, a tax amount was taken out before he got his check for this reason.) He has some income in the Philippines, and pays taxes there. None of his income is generated here. How should I file? Thank you very much!
