Married filing jointly - Wife came from India on H4 Visa in July 2019; What is her residency status for tax purposes - part year or entire?
Hi,
My wife, H-4 Visa holder, came to US (Michigan) in July, 2019. She didn't work and doesn't have any W-2/income in the US for 2019.
While filing the taxes as 'married filing jointly' - the state tax has this question on declaring her residency status.
1) Should I mark her residency status as partial? She didn't stay in any other state- just Michigan for her total time in US - 4 months.
2) Exemption Allowance for Schedule NR:
I see an amount ($XX) for "Combined Total" column for both the rows: Michigan Taxable income, and Total Taxable income. What should should I put for my Wife in the "Michigan Taxable income", and "Total Taxable Income"?
