Married in 2008. Should I file jointly with my spouse on H1B ?
Hi,
I was on OPT from Jan 2008 to June 2008 and then on H1B from Oct 2008 -Dec 2008.
My husband has been on H1B for over 6 years and is considered a resident alien.
Since I was on OPT I did not pay Social security and medicare taxes from Jan-Oct 2008, only from Oct - Dec 2008.
My question is : Should I file jointly with my husband ? Or should I file single ? Which would be a better option ? Which forms should I fill?
Please advise
Thanks!
