Hi,
My employer has asked me to fill W-4 form for me. I entered US a week ago on h1b. I am married and my wife is in India. She would be joining me in January 2012.
Prior to this, I was in US on B1 visa from April to August. I did SPT test and as per the test I will be considered as a resident alien for 2011. Now, I want to fill W-4 form.
As my wife is not here with me for 2011, I want to file taxes for 2011 as Single. I am filling up my "Personal Allowance Worksheet". In the worksheet, I have marked A and B as 1. Should I enter C as 1 ? If I enter C as 1 would it create a problem when I would be filing tax returns later in 2012 as I am filing the tax as Single ?
Also, being qualified for a resident alien, i mean dual status, while filing my tax returns, I need to fill two forms. Can I still file as a non-resident (though I pass SPT test due to B1 stay) alien with a single form and as "Single" status for the year 2011 ?
Please help.
