Hi

I am from India and working the in US on my H1 visa. I have a wife and child who live in India. They have valid H4 dependant VISAs, but haven't been to the US.

Which Marital Status should I use while submitting returns to get maxmium tax benefits?
And what all are the procedures for that? Also, I do not have my spouse and child's original passport/visa with me right now.

Whether the income earned by my wife in India is subject to US taxes also?

Please help me to clear my doubts.


Thanks in advance,
sajiawy
