Hi,
I am on a h1 status since oct '09 and my wife is still in F1 since 2008. After going through some of the threads, I still have few queries regarding the Form I need to file.
1. It looks like I need to file 1040NR since I do not have enuf days for SPT this year.
2. I can wait till may and file first year resident. If I opt for this, will I get the deductions only for the resident days (oct-dec) from 1040? What makes this option better than 1040NR. I am not a indian citizen so do not have the treaty deduction besides the standard one. I am not sure if the deduction should be prorated for the resident months.Please elaborate.
Thanks
May
