Hello,
I am from INDIA.
Here is my status:
Me on F1 between Aug 2005 and Dec 2007
Me on OPT between Dec 2007 to Oct 2008
Got married on Oct 2008
Wife(H4) and Me (H1B) entered US on November 16 2008.
Me on H1B from Oct 2008 to present
Wife on H4 from Oct 2008 to present
From this forum, I found that
I can file tax as "Married - filing jointly"
I can file 1040EZ as resident alien (provided me and my wife pass SPT)
Here are my questions:
1. Should we both pass SPT?
2. When is the earliest, we both can pass SPT?
3. How can we file an extension for state tax?
4. How can we file an extension for federal tax?
5. How and When should my wife apply for her Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
6. Filing which is better? 1040EZ or 1040NR-EZ?
Thanks in advance.
