Hi! I need some urgent help here, hoping someone can advise.
I’m an immigrant working in the US on a work visa (O-1B). My wife (on an O-3 dependent visa) is a stay at home mom and I have 3 kids who are all US citizens. I’m moving to a new job, where I need to fill out a new W-4. My wife does not have a SSN but does have a tax ID and we’ve seen major drop in returns in the past two years as I filed as married filing jointly. I have been told that spouses who don't have SSNs are not tax deductible for benefit anymore.
Is that accurate? Is my status the correct on for tax filing? If not what should my status be?
I’d love some help here.
Thanks so much!
