1. What are the benefits of filling tax return as Resident Alien Vs. Non Resident Alien ?
2. If my wife is a non resident Alien while I am resident alien, can I file a joint return as Resident Alien ? What will the additional benefits of joint return ?
3. Do I need to add my Indian Salary also in the US tax return ? Can I choose not to show it as on it I am already paying tax in India ?
4. Can I claim my son as a dependent ? He was with me in USA for 172 days in the taxation year.
5. If I can't, still may I have any other tax benefits related to him ?
