Filing Tax First Time for myself (H1B) and my Wife(H4)
Hi,
I was in Seattle, WA from Mar 2006 to Nov 2006 on H1B. My Wife was with me from Apr 2006 to Nov 2006 on H4. I had mentioned M2 as the FWT. I am back to my native country from Nov 2006. I have the following queries regarding filing the tax. Kindly clarify my queries.
1. Am I a resident alien or Non resident alien (I am confused with 183 days logic, as I was in US for more than 183 days last year)?
2. Based on the above answer please let me know which forms do I need to fill?
3. Is W7 the only form which I will fill for my wife?
4. In the W7 form, which option shall I select from these two:
a. Dependent of U.S. citizen/resident alien
b. Dependent/spouse of a nonresident alien holding a U.S. visa
5. What are the documents that need to be submitted for W7?
6. Do I need to file the tax as "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately"?
7. My company has given the W2 form. Is it the only form which will be given by company?
Looking forward for immediate response.
Thanks In Advance
