Hi,

I don’t know whether I am asking this question at right place…. I started working in US from 1st Aug. I have my family also along with me (Spouse [Not working] and one kid). It will be less than 180 days in US for 2009.

a. As per the US tax policy I should not claim the dependency? In the W4 what number I need to put in?
b. Is it possible to get complete tax exemption?

Thanks,

Krish
