Hi,

I have 2 questions.


1. I came to US in the month of September in L1 Visa and I am paying about $900 as federal taxes every month.Can you tell me whether I will be eligble for the entire refund of my federal taxes when I file my return.

2. My parents will be visiting US during Mar 2010. Can i show them as my dependants in my W4 and claim tax refund for the year 2010. If yes, do I need to apply for a ITIN for them. My father files taxes for the income he make in India, but in US they are dependant on me.

Can someone clarify on this please.

Thanks.

The critical issues on HOW you will file are:

1) Whether you are married.

2) How LONG will you be in the U.S.?
