I knew my husband about a year prior to dating , we were friends/next door neighbors , then we started dating , and a year and half later we were married

We've been married for a little over 3 years now and finally are able to adjust his status ... just livin' the life of love with my soul-mate!

Other: We were next door neighbors, that was fun.

We didn't use a lawyer, everything you need is pretty much laid out for you with specific instructions.

I recently went through this, here is what you need to do in regards to tax purposes.. Your spouse does not need a SSN, his information will all fall under yours.

File the 1040X, attach a note saying: I am treating (Spouse Name) as a US Resident for Tax Purposes for the Tax Year 20_ _;

Then Spouse write, on the same note: I am letting (US Citzen's Name) treat me as a US Resident for Tax Purposes for the Tax Year 20 _ _;

Then, both sign and date.

This allows you to file Married Filing Jointly, and mail them in, 1040X.

Filing Single, is a common error, no biggie, on the 1040X there should be a place to explain. Hope this helps
