Filing Status, Me on H1B, wife & kids in India
I was reading your replies and learnt a bit about taxes. I am an Indian citizen working on H1B visa came here on 31st Aug 2008 and will be here till Dec'08 (atleast).
I am married but my wife & 2 kids are still in India and they have never been to US before.
Also since I will not stay here for 6 months so I will be considered non resident allien.
My questions are :
1. For filing 2008 taxes, what will be my filing status (single/married filing seperatly/married filing jointly)?
2. What all form should I use ?
Thanks,
Hitesh
