发帖数: 472 | 1 married, changed from F1 to H1 on October 1st. Am I eligible for resident or
tax purpose? I came to US on August 2007.
My wife was post-doc until Aug 2011 and remained unemployed since then.
Could I use turbotax and if so, how can fill out 1042-S?
thanks so much, if you can help! |

发帖数: 3249 | 2 you cannot use turbotax as NR and/or Dual status.
1) You may file as NR for yourself and your wife files as NR for herself.
2) You file extension request on/before Apr.17 and pay any tax due.
Then wait till June 1 of 2012 and then file as dual-status with your wife.
You may crunch the numbers in both ways and see which one will serve you
better.

2011 if I am gonna chose extension.

You are dual status by filing extension to meet substantial presence test.
Dual status is not resident. It is somewhere between NR and R. You get a
little more benefits than NR, but less than R.
