    6th year f-1 student should fill out 8843 or not for myself/wife
    Hello,
    I am a 6th year F-1 student. I became a resident alien for tax purposes. I filed 1040EZ with a W-9 for my wife(F-2). She is in US for two years only. Do I need to file 8843 for myself and/or for my wife?
    As an extension, I am still waiting for ITIN number for my wife to fill out state taxes. But I did not get any reply from IRS yet. What should I do? Just fill as single?
    Thanks,
    Mustafa

    Did you file joint return as residents and attach W-7 (ITIN application) with your tax return?

    Yes, for state tax return file an extension, and pay the tax due. File return after you get ITIN.

    We filed as residents. Do we still need to file 8843 for myself and/or for my wife?
