Wife on OPT(F1) and Husband on H1B Visa
Hello All,
I am on H1-B Visa and my wife is on OPT (F1).
My question is:
1. Are we supposed to file jointly or separately?
1.1 If we file jointly which form do we use? (1040NREZ?)
1.2 Do we both get standard deductions and exemption? ($5700*2 + $3650*2)
2. If we file separately which form should I and my wife use?
3. Is there is software or some consulting company I can use?
3.1 How much is the average cost.
Information about us:
1. Both are Indian origin
2. I am staying here from 2006-2011
3. My wife is staying from 2007-2011
Thanks in Advance.
