    1) You will probably file a JOINT tax return for both the IRS and the state where you are working.

    2 & 3) Your wife is not your dependent; she is your co-filer. Your children are dependents. Both will need Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs), for which you apply using Form W-7 with the tax return.

    4) On the W-2, claim MARRIED status with TWO allowances.

    If you need professional help to file, contact me at the email address in my profile (if you cannot see it below).

    With your tax return for 2012 as Married filing jointly, you will attach ITIN applications for your spouse and dependents.
