Hello, I am US citizen and my spouse has no SSN or never worked in the USA. My spouse was a student many years ago but left the country after completed the study. She never had income in the USA but he works in her country right now. I believe I don't need to include her foreign income on my tax return right? This is my first time filing taxes after marriage.

 

I will file my taxes "MARRIED FILING SEPERATLY" 

Turbo tax doesn't let me enter "NO SSN" for my spouse so I'm confused.

 

Please help me with 3 simple questions that I have:

 

1 - Can I e-file my tax return? Which software/company is suggested to use?

2 - I heard I have to physically mail my taxes if I want to file "married filing separately" is this true?

3 - Is filing separately an issue at the interview?

 

Thank you in advance.

Joseph.
