says wife can be claimed as dependent if wife doesn't have income. 有经验的
人朋友帮忙澄清一下吧。 |
s***e 发帖数: 2795 | 2 On a joint tax return, you can claim an exemption for yourself and your
spouse, even if one of you did not work and/or had no income for the entire
tax year. This has the same tax benefit as if you were to claim a dependent.
Now, think about it. What's the point of claiming your spouse as your
dependent? Let's say you can claim her as your dependent, you cannot file "
married filing jointly" filing status. This means, you pay more taxes. Why
did you do that anyway??

用married filing seperately,这种情况下,如果spouse自己不报税,就可以claim
spouse的exemption,比报single合算。

S**I 发帖数: 15689 | 4 spouse作为dependent的情况是存在的(严格地说不是作为dependent,而是在计算
exemption时“相当于”一个dependent):这个情况是married filing seperately或
者head of household & spouse自己无收入也不报税 & spouse不是其他人的dependent。

Alien Status, 那么只能file jointly, claim 2 exemption and have standard
deduction. 比file married separately合算很多。

S**I 发帖数: 15689 | 8 看得不仔细;dual status可以用married filing jointly有四个前提,不是说只要是
married就行了。而dual status + married但是不能报married filing jointly的情况
并不是没有。

o******6 发帖数: 39 | 9 再细看,non-resident spouse treated as resident,所以前提是已婚,配偶是否是居
民没关系 |
C******r 发帖数: 1385 | 10 还是得加上这段引用:“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.
