I am a citizen of India.
I went to US on May 2008 and moved out of US to India on April 2010.Have paid my US taxes for 2008,2009 as SINGLE.
On 31st Jan 2010 I got married and my spouse is a non resident alient , citizen of India who never went to US till date.My spouse is a homemaker who had a valid dependent VISA (H4), though she chose not to travel to US.
Wages:
I have W2 for year 2010 for my wages from 1st Jan 2010 till 31st March 2010.After I came back to India , I am employed and have paystubs starting 1st April 2010 till 31st Dec 2010.
Question;
# Which form should I fill for tax returns ( 1040NR/EZ or 1040A/EZ).I have SSN but my spouse does not have SSN or ITIN.[I guess I need to fill 1040NR as I was NOT physically present in US for 183 days in 2010 and my tax home was India effective April 2010]
# What other forms do I need to fill?
# What documents are required from my end?
# Can I give my current India`s address in the return form though my W2 will report my previous US address?
# What to mention in the box which requires my wife`s SSN?
# Am I eligible for standard deduction and what docuements are required for foreign tax credit?
# Am I required to fill form 8840 and what supporting documents are required from my end?
Thanks
