Oh wow, that is complicated. I really don't know how that works. I know you can't claim her because you are not technically supporting her and she doesn't live with you. Beyond that I don't know that you even need to claim her income if she is not yet a citezen and isn't working here. I would check with a tax pro for sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Question
Submitted 359 days ago...
Married with dual nationalities and US income taxes.
I am an american citizen. I work in Alaska seasonally. I still need to file 2006 taxes. I married a mexican citizen in 2006(non resident). She works in Mexico as a teacher. I am positive I am owed a refund. I was hoping to file our return jointly believing I would maximise my refund. I have been waiting for an equivalent W-2 for 2006 for her work, but I now think it will never happen. The gov't in mexico city must send it and it has now been 10 months. I assumed I could treat her as a resident alien for tax purposes, exempt her income and only pay taxes on mine while getting all the benefits of being married and filing jointly. Since it seems I will never get anything from her work showing her income, should I just file singly while applying for a ITIN for her?
