TN filing 1040 MFS at 1040 MFJ Pro Forma rate

Post by nirvana_1959 » Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:46 am

Hello,

Searched the net and didn't find any answer.

Background

Married Canadian citizen working in USA under TN Status
Family living in Canada
I visit Canada (family) about a week in a month

Question

Can I file 1040 MFS with my worldwide income and use 1040 MFJ Pro Forma rate ?

Thanks!

Sorry, missed a slight detail. The treaty allows you to file 1040NR (not 1040 MFS) using the pro forma 1040 MFJ rate.
