    Stayed less than 183 days in USA on L1B
    Hi,

    - I have stayed in IL, USA on L1B for 43 days in 2008.
    - For rest of the year 2008, I was working in India.
    - My gross income when I was staying in USA is 7776 USD.
    - I didn't have any other income other than 7776 USD when I was in USA.
    - I was married (no kids) when I stayed in USA for 43 days, but my wife was back in India when I was in USA

    1) Do I file as a resident on non-resident?
    2) Do I have to file for Part Year ? Clarify.
    3) Do I file as Single Or Married ?
    4) Do I get all my Federal Tax Withheld?
    5) What is "Recovery rebate credit" ? Do I qualify 300 USD Tax Return based on "Recovery rebate credit" for year 2008?
    6) What is the best Online Tax Filing Website for me in this situation?

    Regards,
    Sri

    1) Non-resident.

    2) Yes.

    3) Married.

    4) Probably, if you deduct daily living expenses (assumng you did not get a tax-free daily stipend).

    5) Not eligible.

    6) You cannot file on-line, as you must file Forms 1040NR with Form 2106 to claim the daily living costs.

    If you still need to file and wnt prfessional help, email me at [email protected].
