Tax Filing

[ruchir.srivastav]

I have a few questions regarding tax filing for year 2014.

I was on OPT and OPT-Ext until 30th September 2014. I started my H1B on 1st October. I was previously on F1 Visa and was considered a non-resident alien. Starting October 2014, I was in the US for less than 183 days, so I do not qualify the Substantial Presence Test for 2014.

1. Due to non qualification of substantial presence test, will I file 1040 NR form for 2014 taxes?

Also, in December I got married, however, my wife did not join me in the US until January 2015. I know I will not be eligible for the deductions.

2. What will be my filing status, single or married, since she did not stay with me throughout the year? If I file as married but filing single, do I need to get an ITIN for her, even though she was not present in the US for a single day last year.

Will appreciate help on this subject. Thanks.

1) Yes 2) You don't have to claim her as a dependent, when you file your taxes for 2015 you will have to.

Also I think you should file form 1040 NR-EZ if you do not claim any dependents and your gross income falls below $100k
