I guess it's that time of year again folks!
Background: I'm a USC...I married a UKC in 2005 and went to live in the US. She received the SSN, spouse visa, green card and all that! In 2010, we moved back to the UK with no intention of going back to the US in the foreseeable future (bye-bye green card
).
Since we moved to the UK I've been filing a joint return. She has no connection to the US anymore, no job, no bank account, no investments...nothing.
My questions are...what are the filing requirements for her? Will I always have to file a return for her, either joint or individual? Or is there a time limit on situations like this where I can cease filing for her and just do an individual return for myself?
Any advice is appreciated. I know there are some very knowledgeable people that follow this tax forum and I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.
Thanks!
Bill
