H4 Tax Navigation

Asked Feb 3, 2010, 11:06 AM — 1 Answer
B]Background[/b]
  • I've been on H1B for 5 years.
  • Living in OH filling 1040A for Fed Taxes.
  • Got Married in Dec'08. Wife came to USA in Jan'09 on H4.
  • Wife worked Jan-Nov 2009 in India and paid tax there.

From reading posts around here steps I need to take -

  1. File 1040EZ with "Married Filing Jointly"
  2. Get ITIN - Form W7 with notarized copy of wife's passport
  3. File foreign tax credit - Form 1116
  4. Mail the 3 forms above together.
  5. Apply for extention with state taxes until spouse ITIN is assigned.
  6. File for city taxes.


Am I missing any steps ?
