My wife is in China right now and has never been to the US in her life. Can I consider her as having no income?

    Are you filing a joint return?

    If yes, are you making an election to treat your non-resident spouse as a resident for tax filing purposes?

    If you are, you claim all the income of you both, including any foreign income. 

     

    HERE is more information on your options if your wife is a non-resident.
