I came to US on October 11 2008 on L1-Visa with my Spouse (L2) & Kid (L2)
My spouse is not working & does not have EAD/ITIN/SSN (Not even applied)
I was not here in 2006 or 2007 (So do not pass the Substantial Presence Test)
I am filling my tax returns & these are my questions
From what I understand my status is "Non resident Alien"
1) Should I file as Married or Single. If Married, should it be separate or Jointly.
NOTE: My Wife does not have any income.
2) Can I claim for exemption for my wife or Kid? They do not have SSN, but I am planning to apply for ITIN.
Thanks,
Satheesh
