    Forms for Filing Federal/state taxes ?
    Hi,

    I recently (in Aug -08) moved from India in US (ca).. and later my wife and my daughter (2.8 yrs) joined me in Nov-08..

    I am on H1B here.. I used Turbotax, calculated my tax and took printout and have filed the Federal tax by going at Taxpayer center..

    I have filled 1040A attached W2 and applied for TIN for my wife by filling W7..

    Is there any other forms I missed to fill and if yes can I fill now and send them ?

    Also in regards of State tax Which form do I need to fill ?

    Did you file joint return as residents? Read about H1-B tax filing: http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/08/us-visas.html
    For CA you are part year resident.
