I, Use Citizen, married with a girl in China in August of 2012, my wife in still in China now,
Can I file a join tax return now to save some 2012 Tax ?
-No because your wife did not live with you in US. Technically, your wife can not get the tax ID number to claim the tax deduction benefits.
If we married in the Jan of 2012, answer to the same question is ?
-Not different.
Thanks a lot !
