Hi all,
I am a resident alien working on H1-B. My wife(H4 visa) joined me in the US in 2008(202 days) and got her ITIN last year when we filed jointly.
After spending 90 days in US in 2009, she went to our home country to deliver a child and both of them joined me in 2010.
Filing taxes for 2009, do you think my wife has satisfied substantial presence test to be eligible for dependent tax credit?
Do we qualify for baby credit considering the baby was not in the US until 2010?
I have been providing for my wife and baby's living/medical expenses abroad so can I list them for deductions?
Do I need to apply for my baby's ITIN at the time of filing?
Appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.
