Whether to file single or jointly for H1B (Having Dependents along with me in US)
Hi
I am on H1B and my dependents on H4(Wife and 1 Daughter). We came to US on 1st Aug 2008. My W2 form has marital status as SINGLE but will be changing now as I have completed 180 days in US. My Queries:
1. Whether I need to file file Taxes Return, as Single or Jointly.
2. My daughter goes to Pre-School, do I need to mention the fees when filling the form.
3. W2 form also specify the Medicare and Social Security Tax Withheld, if filling jointly do I need to fill that too.
Regards
Zaheer
