    Urgent Tax filing L1 Visa:Turbo tx
    Hi,

    I was on US from Aug2007 till April 2008 on Visa Type L1. My wife and kid were in L2 visa.
    My wife is a house wife in US .

    Now we are back in India, for filling my 2008 return I have following query:
    1. Being in India can I use Turbo tax for filling my tax.
    2. SHould I file Married and applying Jointly for that do I need ITIN for my spouse.
    3. Can I declare my Kid as dependent.
    4. In Turbo tax how can I attach my foreign tax credit document for tax deductions.

    Early response is really appreciated.

    Thanks
    Robin

    No, you must file as a non-resident alien for both 2007 and 2008.

    This means you CANNOT file jointly with your wife, nor can you claim your child as a dependent.
