Taxes

My wife came here on a K-1 visa and we were married in early fall. Now we are waiting on AOS, and as the year approaches, am I going to be able to file my taxes as a joint return with her as a dependent? Just looking for a little advice.

that depends... if she has a soc sec number, then i think you can. best advice i can give, is check with people who prepare tax forms, or the irs itself.

Even if she does not have a social security number, you can get a federal tax id number for her. Before my wife and kids had social security numbers, they all had federal tax ids so I could claim them and file a joint return with her. See www.irs.gov

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Turbo tax online is the greatest thing since sliced pan, imho.
