    Filing Tax with Spouse as dependent on L2 visa
    I am in the US on a L1 visa from May 2010. My spouse also came to US with me as a L2 dependent and returned to India in Oct2010. And I changed my status from married to single in Oct2010.How do I need to file my tax returns - as single and add my spouse as dependent or file as married jointly? My spouse has a SSN.
