What country is "man" a citizen?Always cite your source for support to defend your opinion -
I think you are looking at either MFS or MFJ with a non-resident alien spouse. However a quick check in TTB also found this: "Nonresident alien spouse. A taxpayer is considered unmarried for HOH filing status purposes if his or her spouse was a nonresident alien at any time during the year and the taxpayer does not elect to treat the nonresident spouse as a resident alien. However, the spouse is not a qualifying person for HOH purposes. The taxpayer must have another qualifying person and meet the other tests to be eligible to file as Head of Household."
I don't work with 1040-NR filers, so these are the only hints I can give.
[edit] The thread title is "resident alien", so I assumed the taxpayer ("man") is a U.S. resident alien, probably a green card holder. OP can confirm or provide more info.Last edited by Rapid Robert; 03-08-2020, 10:09 AM."You said it, they'll never know the difference. Come on, we'll paint our way out!" - Moe Howard
