主题：【求助】纽约州税，我到底是single还是married -- 无间地狱狐

Updated: 友来有趣 Gives a better answer. If it works, I would suggest follow that advice.

-------------------------------------------

Below are my understanding, you may want to talk to the international student office for free tax consultation.

If you file as married, you need provide spouse SSN or ITN, which you don't have.

When your wife comes, you can change your status and file as married filing joint. IRS does not really care about your status, as far as you don't file duplicated form (like you & your wife file together, then your wife files her own), they are ok.
