My wife (J2 visa) and I (J1 scholar visa) were resident in the US during the years 2008 (from mid Oct), 2009 and 2010. We returned to our native UK on Aug 1 2010. I believe this makes us Resident Aliens.
My W2 does not have an entry in box 1, which I think is because I was exempt (I have a tax rate of 00.00 on a 1042-S form - exemption code 4). The 1042-S has a gross income amount noted. My wife earned a modest amount (around $11000) and has her W2.
Now the questions:
1) Which form to file?
2) How do I declare the exempt income?
Thanks in advance.
