@pk thank you again! One more point regrading the child. He was born outside US, currently under F2 visa, also >5 years in US.
- Can I claim him as a dependent? - I though only children-residents are eligible. Requirements for "qualifying child": "You can’t claim a person as a dependent unless that person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national, or a resident of Canada or Mexico". Or does "U.S. resident alien" here mean resident for tax purposes? and respectively I can claim my child as dependent?
- If I do MFJ and claim dependent (child), do I attach two W-7 forms (for spouse and child)?
- I'm also confused on where to submit. You mention above I should submit to where the return should be sent. Will they forward W-7 form to the appropriate place? The W-7 form instruction states that tax report should be attached to that form and a different address is stated (for form to be sent)
Thank you!
