Hello there

First of all thanks for creating this wonderful site. I have few questions for my taxes for 2006

I am resident alien (h1-b visa) (fits substantial presence test) married filing jointly.
My wife is non-resident alien (f1 visa).

We used 1040 to file our taxes and got following deductions
Standard Deductions = $ 10,300
Personal Deductions = $ 6,600

Can you please tell me if these figures are correct?

Thanks,
Collaboration

Those figures ARE correct.

You need to attach a statement to the return stating you BOTH choose to be treated as resident aliens for ALL of 2006.
