I'm a US citizen who is married to a non resident alien and we have chosen to file maried joint tax returns for a number of years (pub 519).
Question: If a non resident alien started investing in USA companies and received dividends from these investments how would FDAP dividends of 10% via 1042-S Japanese foriegn investor be reduced to reflect the joint return status?
Is there any tax rule that resolves the conflict between pub 519 and the 1042 taxes?
