    Spouse on F1. Can I fle jointly ?
    Hi.

    My wife is on a F1 status. Through out 2006. I am on a H1 B status.
    Prior to 2006 she was on H4.
    She is paying Resident fees, since I am a resident. I am supporting her in her travel to school and in her education expenses.
    Can I claim her as a dependent ?

    Thanks for your advice

    Ram:

    It would be better for you to file jointly. That way, you can deduct the education expenses or claim an Education Credit.
