    Residency and tax filing status for H1B and H4.
    Below are entry and exit dates in US on H1B visa. Upon exit from US, I was back in home country India.
    Entry 1: 07-Mar-2006
    Exit 1 : 09-Sep-2006
    Entry 2: 05-Oct-2006
    Exit 2 : 30-Jun-2007

    I was working in New York city but stayed in New Jersey throughout the term.

    My wife has H4 dependent visa and joined me in US on 17-Nov-2006.
    She left with me back to India on 30-Jun-2007.

    For 2006 return was filed by me and my spouse as "Married filing jointly" status.
    For 2007 return, I'm not able to figure out my status. Total stay in US in 2007 is 181 days.
    Can you help out the tax filing status which would give me maximum refund?

    Let me know your contact details to seek professional services for tax filing.

    Thanks in advance

    For 2007, you are resident in the beginning of the year and nonresident at the end of the year. It makes you Dual Status.

    Yes, you need professional help/services to do the return. You may contact
