2011 L1 Tax filing questions
Hi Experts,
I need some suggestion on filing my 2011 taxes
My wife and I are in L1 B.
I have one kid came to US on July 2nd 2011 dependent as( L2 )of my wife’s L1.
I am planning to do the Joint filing with kid as dependent. So I need to apply the ITIN for my kid during the tax filing.
The question is
Is my kid eligible for SPT?(exactly 183 days).
During the W7 form filling do I need to fill my SSN details or my wife SSN details? (Because my kid L2 stamping was my wife’s L1 B)
I have one more question:
As we are in L1B we are working from employer’s office. But for work related purpose my wife and I used to travel and stay(temporary) at client location which is in different state.
Once the work is done we are back to the employer's office. The visiting to client place is more frequent and some time we might stay for couple of weeks.
My company doesn’t provide any accommodation at client location so we have rented an apartment and stayed at client state.
As we are staying at the client location with my expenses so company gave accommodation (guest house) at the work (office) location state. So my pay stubs and taxes are paid to the IL state. And paid only little part of the tax to another state.
Now my question is, what state do I need to put as the resident state? My rental agreement and the car registration is in one stae but the pay stub is at taxes paied to the differnet state.
Thank you very much for valuable suggestions.
