Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Nonresident aliens can file a joint return with a United States citizen or resident, but they must both agree to be taxed on their worldwide income. This is known as a "treaty election" and requires the nonresident alien to submit Form 8833 with their tax return. Otherwise, the nonresident alien can only file as married filing separately or as a single taxpayer.
