Filing Taxes Married to Non-US Citizen | Correct Filing Status + Tax Preparation Software

Filing taxes married to a non-US citizen? How do I file taxes if I got married abroad? Does the government know I'm married? Can I file single? What tax software allows me to file taxes with a nonresident alien spouse? Today I'm answering all these questions and more! This was my first year filing taxes after getting married abroad, and it took some research to figure out what filing status to use (married filing jointly, head of household, married filing separately) and what tax preparation software/service would allow me to file online despite my spouse not being a US resident or citizen. I hope this can help save someone the time I wasted on other tax preparation software!
DISCLAIMER: I am not a licensed tax professional nor a professional tax preparer, just someone who has done their own research and speaks from their own experience. I encourage you to look on the IRS website to confirm what your own tax filing status should be!
