f******g 发帖数: 16 | 1 我情况比较复杂,希望了解报税的朋友给些建议。
我和我老婆是中国人,之前在加拿大读书,有枫叶卡。去年来美,我在波士顿,她在
密西西比
我是中国签的J1,然后11月份从国内直接来的。学校直接免了税。
我老婆是加拿大签的H1,3月份从加拿大来的。在大学里做Research associate,她
们学校很少有她这种情况,直接扣了税的。
有几个问题:
1 我们必须一起报税还是可以分开?
2 我算是nonresident alien, 但我老婆算哪种? 她应该填哪个表?
3 我老婆算不算resident of china来的,能否适用china treaty, 然后是否算
researcher, 享受5000的免税?
我们情况特殊,读条款太头痛,希望了解的朋友给些指导,或者推荐一个会计师
多谢 | r****a 发帖数: 3249 | 2 关于你第三个问题(严格来说,你也不可以用treaty), IRS要求报税人必须在来美之前
在中国至少呆一年才可以满足resident of china for tax purpose的要求,享受us-
china tax treaty.
This is because the NRA hasn't been physically residing in the
treaty country for at least a year prior to their arrival as a student in
the U.S. Officially, they're from "no country" for tax purposes, because
they're an NRA in the U.S., but U.S. tax law also has them as a
nonresident in the home country. (There are a few exceptions to this,
but mostly for diplomats who are considered tax residents of their home
country no matter where they live or how long they've been away from home.)

2. R,填1040表。
3. 你LP可能可以使用加拿大与美国的treaty,但肯定不能用中美treaty。况且5000免
税是针对学生的,你们都不能用。 |
