Hello Sir,

Myself n my wife came together (L1 & L2 visa) to USA on December 2010. I filled my Tax as Single. But I need to amend it (want to file tax jointly). My wife doesn't have a iTIN. Do I need to fill W7, 1040NR and 1040X form? Please suggest the process.

Regards
Sudip

Now I'm no and I'm a ten year old WAIT! Don't STOP READING! I have some advice just so you know bring home your wife frowers tonight then make her dinner and tell her she's special p.s tank me later!

Unless you arrived on 1 December 2011, you will NOT meet the criteria for filing jointly under First Year Choice!

Sorry!

Sudip,
Since you had income/salary just under a month, you may not benefit from filing jointly, unless the income received was very high. In order to file jointly as residents, you should be in US for at least 31 days in the year.
