    2006 Tax - H1B Married Filing jointly, ITIN for H4
    Hi,

    I am H1B holder working from July 2006. I am placed in client location in Illinois. But I was getting my paystub from California(Employer 1 - California Employer) till Nov 2006. And for December 2006 I got pay stub from Illinois(Employer 2 - Illinois Employer). I have got two W2 forms.

    My filing status will be Married Filing jointly.

    Also I have to apply ITIN number for my wife along with filing. She is in H4 and in US.

    How can I go a head filing tax returns?

    What is Standard Deduction and Itemized Deduction. Which one should I go for?

    Should I apply for State Tax return separately?

    Looking forward for your answers.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you do not know the difference between the standard deduction and itemized deductions, you should NOT be preparing your tax return.

    Email me at my email below so we can talk about rates for me to prepare your return.
