Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to arrive at the tax numbers for my 1099 contract:
Starting end of 2009, I have been residing in the US on L2 visa.
A few months ago, I had taken up a position as a 1099 contractor. Semi monthly pay basis.
Meanwhile, my husband would have a W2 (I would be shown as dependent)
My questions:
1) Am I eligible for any deductions in this case?
2) Are there any benefits in our case if we do a joint filing?
2) How much tax should I be expecting to pay if I had made about 16k in total?
3) If we go back to our home country (before 2011), would this affect my taxation?
4) Am I supposed to do the interim tax filing for 1099s - by Sep 15?
Any help is really, really appreciated!
