I will be filing jointly with my wife! She is not eligible to work in US (F2).When I was nonresident for the past 5 years, I use to fill out form 8843 (Statement for Exempt Individuals and Individuals With a Medical Condition For use by alien individuals only.) for both my wife and I. Do I need to fill that out this year too as a resident alien for Tax Year 2011? OR Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ are the only forms that I need to fill out? I plan to use Turbotax Federal free version!
Also am I considered to be a resident alien for Tax Year 2011 for state taxes too in California? I use to fill out "California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return 2010" Am I going to fill that one out this year too?
Thanks for all your help!
