那么关于marriage status，俺的情况是：
=================
去年11月开出F2 I-20(学校很好，还没结婚就给开：）)
去年12月底回国结婚，
老婆今年1月份拿到F2签证；
一周以后过来了
=================
这个变化对于我2011年报税是不是没什么影响？我还要声称自己是single吗？(哈哈，希望老婆大人别看见。。。)毕竟去年结婚没几天，老婆去年也并没有physically到过美国。
谢谢。 | c*****a

yes, you are consider married for 2011 tax filing status
you can either file married jointly or separately
jointly is most advantagous

发帖数: 2609 | 3 谢谢，你的逻辑我懂了：
My F2 wife can be considered as resident alien tooo as she married me, a a
resident alien ( >5yr OPT F1).
但我的问题是：
she was not physically in US at all last year. Could she still be counted as
a "resident alien" or even "non-resident alien"？
一句话，我还要不要file她的tax，只因为我们去年在遥远的中国结婚了一周多时间。
。。直觉上似乎跟美国应该无关吧，她过来了才能开始考虑。
谢谢指正。
