B]Background[/B]
I've been on H1B for 5 years.
Living in OH filling 1040A for Fed Taxes.
Got Married in Dec'08. Wife came to USA in Jan'09 on H4.
Wife worked Jan-Nov 2009 in India and paid tax there.
From reading posts around here steps I need to take -
File 1040EZ with "Married Filing Jointly"
Get ITIN - Form W7 with notarized copy of wife's passport
File foreign tax credit - Form 1116
Mail the 3 forms above together.
Apply for extention with state taxes until spouse ITIN is assigned.
File for city taxes.
Am I missing any steps ?
