Hi
I entered US on L1 visa on 26Sep 2009 along with my spouse and child. I have since obtained SSN id for myself but my spouse and child are still without SSN. My wages are being paid by the US branch of my company. I understand that I will have to file as a Non-Resident this year. My queries are:
1) Can I wait to file the return as a resident until I meet SPT in 2010 (will be around 1 Jun 2010)
2) If answer to (1) is yes, what should I do before 15-Apr-10 to avoid penalty for not filing return in time
3) I would like to know what exemptions I can claim to figure out the tax due for 2009 as non-resident+married.
4) Also let me know how to calculate any addnl tax due for this year. My W2 form box1(wages) is around 16.5k and box2(fed tax) is 1.25k, box8, 9 is Zero, state tax - 360$
I do not intend to claim moving expenses as all expenses were covered by my company.
