Question to Mukth A

Thx for your reply. Have One more question sir

Bcos my parents are dual status residents for 2009 (NRA from Jan -> Nov) and (RA from Nov -> Dec due to entry as permanent residents) are they required to file any federal return for 2009. Under the following situation.

1. My dad is 70+ and my mom is 63.
1. They only received income from foreign sources (sale of foreign assets) during the non-resident period. They don't have any US assets.
2. No US income is expected to be received after their entry into the US in Nov 09.
3. Very little foreign income < $50 might be received after their entry into the US after Nov'09



Now w.r.t to filing their income tax returns in 2011

1. Their next income (pension) approx $1.5k/yr + some misc bank interest < $1k/yr , is expected to be received in April 2010. Are they required to file in 2011, even if their un-earned income (pension + bank interest) < $3k for 2010?

2. Can they be claimed as dependent(s) on my tax return in 2011, they would be living with me for the entire year in 2010 and I will be providing all their support.
