Deductions & credits
Thank you very much @KarenJ2 for your response. I have a couple of follow up questions if that's ok:
1- What do you mean by "you must claim your worldwide income"?
My understanding, is that as a non-US citizen (although I understand now from your answer hat I am considered a US resident for tax purposes), I only need to report my US income not worldwide income that I received from my foreign employer. In other words only Form 8843 is required.
2- In the case of my spouse and child (who are on F2 visa), both of whom have no income (both non-US citizens, don't have social security numbers and this is their first F2 visa), my understanding is that each need to fill a separate 8843 form. Is that the best approach or should I do married filing (which I will need to research to understand)?
3- Can I do form 8843 filing through TurboTax?
Thank you again
