Hello all,
This is not an easy topic but I will try to make it as simple as possible and all help and information is very appreciative. I already understand the concept that Immigration and Taxes are separate however I still don't know what road to take.
I met my husband while he was in the US for medical treatment (he has been here for 4 years on current status). Soon after we married and he moved in with me. I have been his sole care-taker for the last 2 years and when the hospital files his visa extension, they list me as his caretaker. We are in the process of filing his immigration papers - which is a seperate issue.
As for how I file my taxes this year, do I list him as a dependent? Do I file as married? He does not have a SSN yet? He cannot work, he has no money and I provide 100% for him because of his cancer. I don’t want to if it will impede on any of the immigration documents that are in process, however I want to if I legally can. Even if I cant, what would my file type be?
Thank You for your time,
Andrea
