Hi,
I cam to US in Aug 2008 on F1 visa.
I was a student till Aug 2013 and was working on-campus. For Aug and Sep I was working on OPT. From Oct to Dec 2013 I was working on H1B.
My total income from Jan 2013 to Sep 2013 was $XX and my income from Oct 2013 to Dec 2013 was $YY
1. Can I file as non-resident (using 1040NR) and use US India Tax Treaty to claim "Total income exempt by a treaty" for my income from Jan to Sep and subtract it from my taxable income?
2. I married in 2012 and my spouse came to US in Jan 2013. Can I claim exemptions for spouse as well.
3. Can I claim standard deduction additional to exemptions and the reduction of taxable income from question 1.
