I am on L1 visa with family (Wife and TWO kids) and have been in US since Aug 2008. Going by the substantial presence test, we do not have 183 days for 2008. But, there was a mention of first year choice where it says if we pass the test for yr 2009, we can file 1040 jointly with Dual Status for 2008.
Can you please help with the RIGHT form to use? Is it better to file 1040-NR for 2008 or 1040 with DUAL status?
What TAX (credits) benefits can I avail as DUAL status?
