I am here in US on H1 and my wife on H4. I think I am a resident alien.
What should be the score for Head of Household, I support my wife financially i.e. she is my dependent. What would be the score on line H for my case on form W4 ?
Thanks,

If you complete substantial presence test (SPT), you can file resident tax return. Read about SPT: Your U.S. Tax Return: Substantial Presence Test (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/04/substantial-presence-test.html)

You are not Head of Household. Your spouse is never your dependent. You can file joint return as residents if you meet SPT. Read about Head of Household: Your U.S. Tax Return: Filing Status: Head of Household (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/05/head-of-household.html)
