My spouse is a non-US citizen, should I file jointly or separately?

If your spouse is not a US citizen and has no Green Card, they don’t need to be included on your tax return. Instead, you should file as "Married Filing Separately" or "Head of Household", depending on your family situation.

Learn more about each tax profile and filing thresholds in our Expat Tax Guide.
