    You can file by yourself, or file jointly with your wife and claim ALL world-wide Income while claiming the Foreign Tax for your home country

    Taxes paid.

    Your wife and child will need to submit Form W-7 to apply for ITINs.

    You will get THREE $3,800 personal exemptions and the $11,900 standard deduction.

    Those calculations require use of Circular E. You can dowload it from Internal Revenue Service to do themselves.
