    F1 Student - Can claim deduction for wife?
    Hi,

    I am an international student from India and would like to know whether I can claim additional exemption of $3,500 for my wife who is on F2

    Yes, as per tax treaty, you can claim exemption for your wife if she did not have any income in the year.
