Federal income tax - first year choice of residency
Hi,
I am on L1 visa and came to USA from India with my wife and kid on 10 oct 2010. For income tax filing for 2010 I am taking the first year choice of residency. Hence I have filed an extension and when I complete 183 days in USA, I will file my returns (on 3 July 2011).
I am filing as married filing jointly. I have an SSN and will be applying for my wife's and kids ITIN when I file my returns.
For first year choice of residency I have read that one has to declare world income.
I would like to know whether :
1) World income i.e income from India + income in US is to be declared on line 7 of form 1040 ?
2) Since I only have form W2 to attach (which shows only US income), is there any other form to be attached which shows my India income ?
Thanks,
Pradeep
