I am on F1 visa (Graduate) and married. My wife has no SSN. I think she has to apply ITIN. Last year I worked on CPT status. I received W2. I was graduate student and I also have 1098T form University. Can I use 1098 T for Tuition Credit. Which form do I need to fill? Should I file taxes as Married filling jointly or married filing separately? Look forward for your reply. Thank You.

You CANNOT file jointly, because you are a non-resident alien and must file Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ, plus Form 8843 plus the state tax return.

You CANNOT claim the tuition credit if you file as a non-resident alien; you are NOT eligibel for such credits.

You MAY be able to claim your wife as a dependent; that depends on your home country.

What is your home country?

My Home Country is India.

Indian students CAN claim their spouses as dependents if the spouse in the U.S. and if they have no gross income earned from a U.S.-source.
