    After spend some time trying to understand better the best way to fill out the Tax Return I discovered some useful informations that I would like to share with you. If you have more useful information, please post here to others like us.

    I arrived in 8/2006 with H1B with my wife and my daughter in H4 and the basic question was, which one should I fill, the 1040NR (non resident) or 1040 (Resident)?

    1) I can chose to be treat as a US resident. To this, I have to fill out the form 1040 as a Dual Status Aliens and opt by First Year Choice (see publication 519 page 8, 9, 10 and 11).

    2) Since I am going to meet the conditions of the First-Year Choice only in May, I have to apply for an Application for Automatic Extension of time to file U.S. individual income Tax
    Return (form 4868). I am not sure if my wife and/or daughter have to do the same.

    3) I can include my wife but the person that talked with me in IRS was not sure about my daughter and they will call me back (I hope so!) in two weeks. When I have the correct answer about it I will post here.

    4) I can include the moving expenses (this is such a good think), as you can see in the
    Publication 521, to this I have to fill out the form 3903.

    All publications and forms you can download from: Internal Revenue Service

    I hope that this help you,
    Gustavo.

    Well done, Gustavo!

    In my opinion, the child has to be in the U.S. for at least six months out of the year to be claimed as a dependent.
