I can't file Online???
« on: February 24, 2019, 08:51:39 AM »
I'm trying to do my taxes right now with H&R Block who I've used every year and it's saying I can't file online because my husband doesn't have a SSN. I clicked NonResident Alien as I was told to do and it still won't let me file. Help...anyone?

File the return on paper. There is loads of time. A US income tax return for 2018 is due to be filed by 17 June 2019; but can easily be extended until 16 December 2019 if necessary by filing an IRS Form 4868 by 17 June - followed by writing a letter to the IRS by 15 October 2019.  An FBAR for 2018 must, however, if needed be filed with the US Treasury by 15 October 2019.

Is it giving you the nice $1,400 child tax credit refund? Were you in the States enough months to qualify for the EIC as well?

No I was only there for 4 months before I moved here. I got a larger standard deduction from being married filling separately so that’s good.

Oh well $1,400 refund can't be bad...hopefully you've been outside the States for 330- days by the time you file so you qualify for the healthcare exemption.

I answered all the questions and it said I didn’t incur a penalty. I had insurance until a couple of days before I left the US.
