H1B Tax filing for Non resident Alien (1040NR)
Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem
I came to US on H1B Visa on 2nd Sept 2009.
I will be in US till 20th Feb2010.
I got my W2 & when I was trying to file the returns, I came to know that I am a Non-Resident Alien.
I came here in US in 2006/07 in H1B.
I stayed in 2007 from 1st Jan to 30th May 2007. (150 Days)
I was not in US during 2008. (0 Days)
I came to US on 2nd Sept 2009 and till date I am here in US.
My Wife came to US on 20th Dec 2009 and went back to home country on 10th Jan 2010.
So Do I need to file my returns using 1040NR?
Is there any way I can do my filing as a resident Alien and get the Std Deduction available for "Married Filing Jointly" ?
Earliest reply is appreciated.
