Taxpayer married a foreign student in 2008 and they elect to file a joint return. His wife, who is still a foreign student as of today, had no income and did not file a tax return in 2007. So she did not get the tax rebate credit last year. Is she, as a foreign student who married to a US citizen in 2008, entitled to the $600 Recovery Rebate Credit in the 2008 tax return?

What is she?
Is she a US Citizen? And, as one, is she on the MFJ return with a valid SS#?
If so, I don't see why she wouldn't get the credit."I am proud to pay taxes in the United States. The only thing is I could be just as proud for half the money." Arthur Godfrey -

She is applying for residency. But at this moment, she is still a foreign student.
She has a SSN, not an ITIN.
They elect to file a joint return.
These are the facts provided by the taxpayer.Comment
