F1 OPT with dependent of F2 tax filing
Hi,
I need assistance to understanding filing my tax this year.
a. My wife and I came in the USA in September 2010 ( I am on F1, wife on F2).
b. I am now on F1 OPT started in May 2013.
c. I was in Ohio till April, 2013 and then moved to New Jersey in May 2013.
d. I have SSN, My wife does not have SSN or ITIN yet. My wife does not have any income.
e. I filled W-4 with my employer as married and tax deduction from my salary was as married status.
f. I am from Bangladesh, my wife also from Bangladesh.
My questions:
1. What will be my tax filling status this year? Can I file as married and jointly? If so, how much benefit I will get?
2. Will I be able to file application for ITIN and will that help?
3. Should I use Glacier provided by my University or TurboTax from outside?
4. The status indicated in W-4 as married is wrong or right? Will that affect in any way?
Thanks
KH
