She has one, but her status is NR, can the turbo-tax software do the job? should we use a accountant? what is your recommendation?

Yeah, she can be treated as resident since you are a resident alien.

You probably save a lot more since your income is shared with her to lower your tax rate.

It can not only lower your tax bracket, but also let you have some tax credit for her tuition (Max. 4800$ this year)

It is a tax credit (Money the IRS pay you back) not a deduction so 4800$ credit is like 30000$ -40000$ deduction.

谢谢你的链接。我的情况是这样的，2009年在美国工作，老婆一直在中国，应该符合Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident，报税的时候，按“MARRIED FILED JOINTLY” 报，对吧？如我的理解不对，欢迎各位大侠指教。谢谢
