Thanks almarlin,
I don't qualify for a Roth IRA anymore (my income exceeds the threshold), so I am stuck with a 401k now anyway. :-(

Hi,
I got the following issue: Last year 2010 I put about $3500 in my Roth IRA, but realized then back in Feb 2011 that I exceeded the income limit for contributions by far. Now I sent Vanguard a...

Hi,
I am a German citizen in the US since 2001. Since 2007, I am on an E1 visa and I am employed in the US since Oct 2006, before that I was an F1 student. For 2006 I have filed taxes as a...

Ok,
Well, wouldn't your (non-binding) advice for me then be to keep everything in a 401k, and not put money in a Roth? Because when I ever withdraw money from a 401k in retirement and I live in...

Thank you both for your answers.
Since the places I will most likely move to have higher taxes than the US, I am not all that much worried about the taxes I will need to pay when I have a green...

Hi,
I am planning to transfer money from Germany to the USA (~$50k). Mostly to take advantage of the good dollar/Euro exchange rate right now, since I am thinking about buying an apartment/house...

Never mind,
I just realized that she makes more than the exemption amount in a year in gross income (and she is older than 24), so she will not qualify anyway as a dependent. I thought she would...

@tickle: Sorry, I cut off too much of the top of the quote. I added some more text, please look at my original post again.
It seems that there is an exception, where domestic partners can qualify...

Hi,
Great forum!
My employer recently started taxing me for the health care benefits received for my (opposite-sex) domestic partner as imputed income.
Now I read that according to Internal...

Thank you very much! :-) Your help is invaluable.

Thanks again for your competent answer.
Since I filed my federal tax 2006 as resident, I filed as part-year resident for MI (01-09/2006) and NJ (10-12/2006). Is that a problem that I should...

Thanks for the quick answer.
What if all the time in 2006 I lived in New Jersey I was still on OPT? I just switched to E1 this month (Apr 2007).
The residency issue confuses me. Seems that...

Hi,
I don't have a Form 1098-T from my university. However, I have statements of fees stating that I paid a total of $415 in fees in 2006. Can I use these fees for edudation credit or deduction?...
-
Ok,
I got all of my account statements from my German banks together. So, what do I need to do now to report the foreign interest income? I assume I add it to my gross income and also fill out...
-
Thanks,
I will try to do it myself, but if I need help I will definitely contact you for professional help. You (and taxsearcher) have been a huge help thus far, I really appreciate it.

Hi,
I had been a full-time student on F1 until Sept of 2006, since Oct 2006 I am employed on F1/OPT (I assume I am still considered a full-time student). Until Sept 2006, I was working on campus...

Hi,
I am F1 student on OPT, citizen of Germany, in the US since 2001. For 2006, I will need to file my taxes for the first time as a resident.

Hi everybody.
In this awesome forum I learned thanks to AtlantaTaxExpert and taxsearcher (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/taxes/resident-non-resident-63992.html) that I need to file my taxes as a...

Ok,
I informed my current employer (for who I have been working since Oct 2006, the start of my OPT) and they said:
"Thank you for informing us about exceeding the 5 year exemption period of...

Hi,
I notified my employer now, let's see what happens.
But I am still not clearly, your answers seem to be contradicting. If I am exempt from FICA while on F1, why would I have to pay some...

Thanks Atlanta Tax Expert, you guys are life-savers.
I quickly filled out the form and it looks like I get $400 more back as a resident than as a non-resident.
Do I still need to include form...

Thank you both sooo much for your quick replies. So I will file a 1040 (not NR) for all of 2006.
What is the difference between filing as resident and non-resident. Can I expect my return to be...
