Brief History:
I came to the US (Oklahoma) in August-2002 as a student (F1) from India. Since then I have been filing my tax returns (1040NR-EZ) every year.
Then I got a job in September 2005 and worked on OPT for the entire year of 2005, hence I was still able to file 1040NR-EZ for 2005.
Starting exactly on January 1st 2006, I have been working on H1B visa. Also, I got married in 2006 and my wife was on H4 (dependent) visa. She did not work in 2006, but this year she started school on F1 visa. Basically, she now has a SSN.
My questions:
1. What will be my tax-status (NRA/RA)?
2. Which form do I need to file for federal taxes?
3. Can I claim my wife as a dependent?
4. Can I take advantage of the India-US tax treaty?
Thanks for your time and guidance.
Regards,
