Publication 519의 Page 7에 있는 First-Year Choice에 관해서 잘 읽어 보십시오.
제가 보기에는 부인의 경우 First-Year Choice을 통해 Resident alien으로 분류되어
Form 1040을 file할 수 있을 것 같습니다. 단 Statement를 하나 첨부하셔야 합니다.
IRC Section 7701(b)(4)에 근거해서 아래와 같은 사항을 충족한다고 명시해야합니다.
Taxpayer
(i) is not a resident of the United States under clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph
(1)(A) with respect to a calendar year (hereinafter referred to as the “election
year”),
(ii) was not a resident of the United States under paragraph (1)(A) with
respect to the calendar year immediately preceding the election year,
(iii) is a resident of the United States under clause (ii) of paragraph (1)(A)
with respect to the calendar year immediately following the election year, and
(iv) is both—
(I) present in the United States for a period of at least 31 consecutive days
in the election year, and
(II) present in the United States during the period beginning with the first day
of such 31-day period and ending with the last day of the election year
(hereinafter referred to as the “testing period”) for a number of days
equal to or exceeding 75 percent of the number of days in the testing
period (provided that an individual shall be treated for purposes of this
subclause as present in the United States for a number of days during
the testing period not exceeding 5 days in the aggregate, notwithstanding
his absence from the United States on such days).
그 다음으로 IRC Section 6013 (g)에 근거해서 남편분을 Resident alient분류할 수 있습니다.
이것도 아래와 같은 statement를 첨부해야 하고 두분이 다 싸인하셔야 합니다.
Spouse was a nonresident alient and taxpayer was a resident alien on the last day of the tax year ended 12-31-12. Pursuant to IRC section 6013(g), the taxpayer and spouse hereby elect to be treated as resident aliens for the tax year ended 12-31-12 and subsequent tax years.
결론은 IRC Section 7701(b)(4)와 IRC Section 6013 (g)에 근거해서 두 분다
Resident alient으로 분류되고 Form 1040을 file할 수 있습니다.
IL State Income Tax는 taxable income이 있으시면 filing하셔야 합니다.
