If you end 2007 in the Un ited States AND will be here through at least May 2008, you will be able able to file jointly under the First Year Chioce program.
If you file jointly, she WILL have to declare her India income, but she will be able to claim the Foreign Tax Credit for taxes paid to India on that income. |
