先说背景:
我,08年F1入美,10年5月毕业转OPT,11年10月转H1B。(11年底到今年2月初在国内)
老婆,09年F2入美,10年回国转F1入美,目前F1在读。
问题:1,如果我想按resident报税,必须用1st year choice,然后file extension,
等一段时间才能file federal return吧?因为有一个多月没在美国,这个等的时间会
不会相应变长?(要满足75%那个条件)
2.如果按照resident,married filing jointly,我们俩的学费有没有可能报进去?老婆
目前没有SSN,所以w7要和federal return一起交,但是federal return要是想报学费
的话需要1098T,这张表可以直接找学校要吗?
多谢了!

You cannot file as resident. But you may file as NR before/on Apr 17 of 2012
. Or file extension and pay possible tax due before/on Apr 17 of 2012, Then
wait till you stay 153 days of 2012 (because you have 1 month from 2011,

如果file as dual-status的话,能不能take $5000 treaty? pub 519 page 8左下角
写的如果要take treaty必须按照NR file?
另一个关于dual-status的问题:dual status需要填both 1040NR和1040,1040NR line
8应该是填前9个月的收入,line 22填5000,23填(line8-line22)对吧?但是1040的

那个表格我看了,1040的部分没大看懂,1040NR上算出来的税是怎么放到1040里去的?
另外,NR部分的收入已经在1040NR上计算过tax了,在1040 line 7却没有除去NR部分的
收入,不算double-taxation么?

所以我现在应该做的是:
1)用1040NR,按照全年NR算税。(这张称为1040NR-1)
2)file extension,同时按照1040NR-1上的数补税
3)等到2012年的substantiial presence test满足之后,file 1040 as dual-status,
用一张新的1040NR(用前9个月income算税)做statement。
对么?

你保税是dual-status, 1040NR和1040都要用到,没有软件

我觉得有关吧?
page10的原文是"If, at the end of your tax year, you are married and one
spouse is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien and the other spouse is a
nonresident alien, you can choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S.
resident. This includes situations in which one spouse is a nonresident
alien at the beginning of the tax year, but a resident alien at the end of
the year, and the other spouse is a nonresident alien at the end of the year
.”
我觉得我属于这个"this includes"的情况。
如果是按照dual-status的话,Pub519, chap 6, page 33,restriction 4明确说you
cannot file a joint return,跟着的"however"就带到pub519, page 9的“choosing
resident alien status”,然后这一项下面的一个note就指向了“Nonresident
Spouse Treated as a Resident”,就是page 10了...

那么如果按dual status报的话就不能file joint return啊?这个pub519 page 33说的
很清楚了...
另外pub519也明确说了first-year choice在file 4868时候应该用1040NR来估算欠税数
额:
page9:"To request Resident an extension to file until October 15, 2012, use
Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S.
Individual Income Tax Return. You can file the paper form or use one of the

我刚才读了一下, 你们不满足page33, restriction 4) 里"however"的情况,看来是不能jointly filing.
一般情况,1040比1040NR退回来的多,所以4868用NR算,就是说先让你预先多交点钱。

点了"however"的link, 就会跳到第9页。 内容如下:
If you are a dual-status alien, you can choose to
be treated as a U.S. resident for the entire year if
ALL of the following apply.
· You were a nonresident alien at the begin-
ning of the year.
· You are a resident alien or U.S. citizen at
the end of the year.
· You are married to a U.S. citizen or resi-
dent alien at the end of the year.
· Your spouse joins you in making the
choice.
This includes situations in which both you and
your spouse were nonresident aliens at the be-
ginning of the tax year and both of you are
resident aliens at the end of the tax year.

已婚的话一个人dual status可以两人联合resident报啊。如果F1的话即可享受5800

具体做法,file extension到12年6月后开始报。选择first year choice,11年dual
status了,然后选择如下choice.
Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident
If, at the end of your tax year, you are married and one spouse is a U.S.

我觉得dual status是全年的状态。make first year choice, 从h1b开始到年底都是
resident了啊。
If you make the first-year choice, your residency starting date for 2010 is
the first day of the earliest 31-day period (described in (1) above) that
you use to qualify for the choice. You are treated as a U.S. resident for

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/taxes/dual-status-alien-can-we-fil
我给他写信问相关情况,得到的回复如下:
Because you are Chinese, you get the best of BOTH worlds.
You CAN file jointly with your wife, claiming the JOINT standard deduction
of $11,600 and two $3,700 personal exemption, which effectively makes the
first $19,000 of your income tax-exempt.
You can also claim the Lifetime Learning Credit for your wife's graduate
tuition.
Your wife will need to submit Form W-7 to get her ITIN.
Further, under an exception to the Savings Clause, you get to claim the $5,
000 treaty exemption for BOTH yourself AND your wife for 2011 for a total
exemption of $10,000. For 2012, you can claim it for your wife only ($5,000
), and will continue to be able to claim it as long as she is attending
school under the F-1 visa. It is reported on Line #21 of Form 1040 as a
NEGATIVE number. Assuming you will efile the return, you must MAIL in Form
8833 under Form 8453 to explain the treaty exemption.
An audit is always possible, but if the Form 8833 is properly prepared and
is submitted in a timely manner, it is unlikely. Any audit will probably be
a MAIL audit, which I can handle myself. An office audit will require a
telephone conference, because my travelling to the IRS office nearest to you
in not feasible.
感觉有点too good to be true...老婆一年没有收入也可以用treaty么?是因为joint

收到IRS邮件回复,个人觉得他们是在打酱油,不过看上去是可以选择file as
resident for entire 2011的?
NOTE: Thank you for your inquiry. Our response to your tax law question
appears below. I hope this information has been helpful. If you have a
follow-up question or another general tax law question, please return to our
web site at: www.irs.gov.
Please do not use your "reply" button to respond to this message. More
helpful information is provided at the end of this message.
Your Question Was:
I m a citizen of China(PRC). I came to US in 2008 on a F-1 student visa. I
stayed in F-1 status until Oct 2011, with July 2010-Sept 2011 in F-1 with
OPT status. I changed to H-1B specialty worker status on Oct 1st 2011. I m
married in 2009 and my wife(who is also a citizen of China(PRC) ) came to US
in June 2009 on a F-2 dependent visa. She went back to China in May 2010,
and changed to F-1 student visa to come back so she can attend full-time
study. She s been on F-1 status since then.
My question is: Can I file as a resident alien for a) the entire 2011, and
b)with status of married filing jointly ? According to Pub 519, I can file
an extension , and make the first-year choice to be considered a dual-status
alien. However, on page 10 of Pub 519 it mentioned a choice that I can make
to elect to be treated as resident alien for the entire 2011 tax year, and
my wife joining me in filing the tax return. Can I make this choice?
The Answer To Your Question Is:
Thank you for your inquiry dated February 21, 2012. We apologize for the
delay in responding to your inquiry. You have questions concerning the first
-year choice to be treated as a resident for part of 2011 and choosing
resident alien status.
When you are eligible to make the first-year choice to be treated as a
resident for part of tax year 2011 (dual-status alien), and you choose to be
treated as a United States (U.S.) resident for the entire year, and your
spouse joins you in making the resident alien status choice by filing a
joint tax return, both you and your spouse will be treated as U.S. residents
for the entire year.
In addition to attaching the statement required to make the first-year
choice for 2011 to your joint tax return, you must also attach the statement
signed by both spouses that you are choosing resident alien status.
Choosing resident alien status includes situations in which one spouse is a
nonresident alien at the beginning of the tax year, but a resident alien at
the end of the year, and the other spouse is a nonresident alien at the end
of the year.
Thank you for using our service.
