Self on H1 and spouse on H4. Filing tax first time
Hi,
I am working here in California, since last five years on H1B visa. I got married in India in Dec, 2006. My wife is still back in India and she will join me on April 8, 2007. I have few questions about filling Tax for 2006.
1) Can she apply for ITIN (W7 form ) from India ?
2) Will I file tax as a single or married for 2006 ?
3) If married married filling jointly or married filling separately.
4) I am sure that she will not be counted as dependent for 2006 since she didn't visit US in 2006.
5) Since she will come here in April, and getting the ITIN will take 4~6 how should we do tax. Any advise will be appreciated. Please send me the answer at my e-mail too [email protected]
Thanks,
