Hi,
I'm an Indian citizen and currently I'm on H1B visa since October 1, 2011. I was on F1 visa from August 2005 to September 30, 2011. I have been reciving W2 for my taxable earnings every year during my F-1 and H1B.
My wife is also Indian citizen and currently on F1 visa. She is on F1 since August 2006 and she has also been earning since then.
We have not moved out of US in 2011. We were in US for 360 days in 2010.
Can my wife be considered as resident alien for Federal tax purposes in tax year 2011? How about me?
Can we file federal taxes for tax year 2011 jointly?
I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestion. Thanks
PPG
