I came to US on November 2007 on J1 Visa (my wife and child were in J-2 visa). I changed my status to H1B visa on October 2008. My wife and child to H4.
In 2007 I worked only two months, and I filled my tax as 1040NR-EZ in 2008
For the year 2008 taxs refund:
1) what is exactly my status for the taxs: resident alien, non resident alien? What form should I use? I worked all 2008 in US and I don't have in other income from outside US.
2) How should I file my IT Returns, as a Single or Married filing Jointly or any other type which will help me getting best possible returns? Should I claim my wife as dependent?
3) My wife is not eligible for SSN, and she is not working, I checked in the IRS dept for ITIN Number of my wife. They informed me that I need to file W-7 along with Passport copies with my Returns. Is it OK ?
Please help me.
