    Tax for 2011 - which form to file
    I will be filing jointly with my wife! She is not eligible to work in US (F2).When I was nonresident for the past 5 years, I use to fill out form 8843 (Statement for Exempt Individuals and Individuals With a Medical Condition For use by alien individuals only.) for both my wife and I. Do I need to fill that out this year too as a resident alien for Tax Year 2011? OR Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ are the only forms that I need to fill out? I plan to use Turbotax Federal free version!

    Also am I considered to be a resident alien for Tax Year 2011 for state taxes too in California? I use to fill out "California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return 2010" Am I going to fill that one out this year too?

    Thanks for all your help!

    For 2011 you can file joint return as residents. If you lived in CA in 2011, you will file resident return for CA.
