Get your taxes done using TurboTax

akj357 ( Ajiy, Ashok , ? ) ,  please listen to the points made by TGBill and bine22 --- they are correct in that  (a) your immigration status  probably is  Nonresident alien  ( TurboTax does not support  the  related forms 1040-NR series ), (b) your filing status, irrespective of what you claim on your withholding form W-4, is Married-- you can only file  as Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separate;  (c) you generally cannot claim your wife even for exemption only  without exposing her Indian income to US taxes. There are a few more ands , ifs and buts. Therefore please consider seeing a professional familar with non-resident alien (with  work visa) tax regulations.  And yes , I concur with TGBill and bine22  that your 2015 return needs to be amended    ( note that claiming that you are not married, when you actually are married, is perjury and can lead to very serious implications -- please see a professional )--Good Luck
