Hi All,
- I am on H1B and my wife on H4.
- I have been working in the state of Illinois from Nov 2004, so I have filled my taxes for year 2004 & 2005.
- I have paid my wife's tuition for here college (M.S degree) in 2005 & I have also paid his year. (she is still on H4 visa)
Would I be considered a resident alien & could I get tax benefits for paying for my wife's higher education ? If I am a non-resident alien, would I get tax benefits?
Please advice on claiming appropriate tax benefits
Thanks
