In theory the non citizen spouse is not required to file a return, but the other spouse as a citizen has only two choices: either married filing joint or married filing separate. Most likely you will probably want to file jointly so that you can claim your spouse's exemption amount as well as being able to claim some credits which are denied to couples filing separately. The income limitations for couples filing separately are usually halved therefore this is an additional incentive to file jointly. In order for a noncitizen to be included on a tax return they must have a valid tax ID number. This would be a valid SS# for employment or they will have to request a tax ID number from the IRS for income tax filing purposes only.

Yes. If you are worried about it, I'd file Married Filing Separately until you get the student loan issues cleared up.
When married couples file taxes separately, each spouse's income is considered individually for income-based repayment of student loans. This means that only the borrower's income is used to calculate the monthly loan payment, potentially resulting in a lower payment amount compared to filing taxes jointly.
no. you will have to consolidate separately. with a federal lender then a private lender.
To be eligible for federal student loans, you must be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, have a valid Social Security number, be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible degree or certificate program, maintain satisfactory academic progress, and not be in default on any previous federal student loans.
Check with the laws in your state before getting married, but in most states, anyone who marries a United States citizen can become a US citizen, and thus be legal.
When marrying, you child and their spouse must decide whether to file jointly or separately. If they file jointly, they will claim themselves for tax purposes, and you cannot claim them. A taxpayer can usually claim a married person as a qualifying child dependent if all of these conditions are met: If the child and their spouse marry but file separately or do not file AND They are under age 19 or under age 24 and a full time student or permanently disabled or they are over the age of 19, not a full time student, but earn less than $3650/year AND They live with their parents for over half the year AND They don't provide over half of their own support for the year
Yes!
This depends on the structure of the loan, who it is received from, where you are lving, where you are marrying, and several minor factors. In some case, your partner will not be liable for the loan, as it your own personal contract and they cannot enter it. In others, your debts are pooled.
Why not just go back to your country, go through the process legally and then you don't have to worry about it.
Your application for a student visa is handled separately from your marriage application. If your marriage application is approved, then that will override your student visa application. If, however, it is not approved then your student application still remains in affect. Please note that in your marriage application there is a question which asks, "Have you ever filed for ANY other types of visas?", which must be answered correctly otherwise you will be subject to denial for filing a false application!
To claim the 2022 student loan interest deduction on your taxes, you must meet the following eligibility requirements: You must have paid interest on a qualified student loan, your filing status must not be married filing separately, your modified adjusted gross income must be below the specified limit, and you must not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
Yes, but you would have to provide Immigration with proof that they are marrying because of love and not so that the student can stay in the US.
