Hi,
I am from India and came to US on F1 visa in Jan 2005 and graduated in Dec 2007. Started working on OPT from Feb 2008 and also filed for H1B visa which starts in Oct 2008. Went back to India in Dec 2008 and got married. I came back in Jan 2009 and my wife in Feb 2009. I have W2 from my employer. I have never filed tax before.
What is the procedure to file taxes for me and my wife.
Which forms do we need to fill out.
Also, am I a resident alien or non-resident alien ?
How would I get the benefit of tax treaty between India and USA?
Thanks in advance.
