I arrived in US on 14Oct 2005 with my wife and 1 yrs old kid. I am on L1 visa and my wife/kid on L4. We have never travelled to US before for any reason. My wife is housewife here.
I am filing my tax returns for the first time in the US. I contacted IRS helpline and I got conflicting answers from them. I need clarrification w.r.t :
1. Whether or not I should file W7 for getting ITIN no for both of them?
Or only for my wife or its not at all required ?
2. Most of the time IRS says I am not eligible for exemption so does it means
that I need not apply for ITIN no and simply file my returns.
3. There are certain publications for non-resident India, do they apply in my case?
Any assistance in this regards will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhi
