H1 and H4 Visa - Tax Return
I am on H1 and have been in US for more than 6 years. So, I am a resident for the tax purposes. I got married this yr and my wife is with me in US on H4 visa. She is planning to join the school next year but surely don't have any income for the yr 2008.
I am still single on my W2 with 2 allowances and probably over paying the IRS. So, I will be entitled to some kind of refund. But what would be the best way to get the maximum refund?
1. If I show my wife as a dependent on me, or
2. If I file my taxes jointly with my wife (by the time she may get her SSN).
Please help me understand my option here..
