Trying to figure out which form is right for me....
Jan 05 - Entered USA with F1
Jan 07 - OPT started
April 07 - Work started
Oct 07 - Changed to H1B
Oct 07 - Got married
Spouse on H1B from Oct 06. (I understand that she is a resident alien as she passed the SPT and will be filing 1040 with married filing seperately status. Will that be right??)
I got 2 W-2s from my company.
No Social Security Tax or Medicare Tax withheld in one W-2. (F1 (OPT) period)
Social Security Tax or Medicare Tax withheld in the other W-2. (H1B period)
I am filing with married filing separately status.
Am I supposed to file using 1040? or 1040NR? or 1040NR-EZ?
Can I claim the following deductions?
Indian tax treaty - $5150
Personal Excemption - $3400
My W-4 has a total count of H as 2 (Line 5, I believe)
so can I also claim the following deductions?
Married filing separate - $5350
Head of Household - $7850
Plese help me solve this puzzle.
which form?
what are the deductions?
Thanks
