Hi,
My status: Aug/2007 - Sep/2008. F1
1/1/09-9/30/09. OPT
10/1/09 - 12/31/09. H1B
My wife: Aug/2008 - Present. J1
I know I have first-year choice.
My question is: If we filing jointly, will my wife's income can still get exemption from FICA and Federal Tax? Will it be better for us to filing separately?
Thanks,
DLu
