In theory the non citizen spouse is not required to file a return, but the other spouse as a citizen has only two choices: either married filing joint or married filing separate. Most likely you will probably want to file jointly so that you can claim your spouse's exemption amount as well as being able to claim some credits which are denied to couples filing separately. The income limitations for couples filing separately are usually halved therefore this is an additional incentive to file jointly. In order for a noncitizen to be included on a tax return they must have a valid tax ID number. This would be a valid SS# for employment or they will have to request a tax ID number from the IRS for income tax filing purposes only.

If your dependent child marries in August can you still claim her for the year on your taxes?

When marrying, you child and their spouse must decide whether to file jointly or separately. If they file jointly, they will claim themselves for tax purposes, and you cannot claim them. A taxpayer can usually claim a married person as a qualifying child dependent if all of these conditions are met: If the child and their spouse marry but file separately or do not file AND They are under age 19 or under age 24 and a full time student or permanently disabled or they are over the age of 19, not a full time student, but earn less than $3650/year AND They live with their parents for over half the year AND They don't provide over half of their own support for the year

If you get married will your wife be liable for your present student loan debt?

This depends on the structure of the loan, who it is received from, where you are lving, where you are marrying, and several minor factors. In some case, your partner will not be liable for the loan, as it your own personal contract and they cannot enter it. In others, your debts are pooled.

What will happen to your previous application for a student visa if you married a citizen and apply for a permanent residency?

Your application for a student visa is handled separately from your marriage application. If your marriage application is approved, then that will override your student visa application. If, however, it is not approved then your student application still remains in affect. Please note that in your marriage application there is a question which asks, "Have you ever filed for ANY other types of visas?", which must be answered correctly otherwise you will be subject to denial for filing a false application!

How do you properly report qualified student loan interest paid?

If you paid interest on a student loan for higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse or a dependent, you can claim a federal income tax deduction. This deduction is claimed as an adjustment to income and you do not have to itemize. Determine whether you qualify for the student loan interest deduction. You must meet the following requirements: 1. Your filing status is any status except married filing separately, 2. No one else is claiming an exemption for you, 3. Your modified adjusted gross income is less than the maximum allowable amount before phase-out ($75,000 in 2009, or $150,000 if you are married filing jointly), 4. You paid interest on a qualified student loan.


If a student leaves school is it ok to have a relationship with a teacher?

It would be legal, I think, if a student and teacher marry each other after the student is no longer a real "student" of that school or any school. However, you'd have to have the student's agreement to marry them and I don't think any teachers should be marrying people they have taught. Legally it is allowed if the student is over the age of 18. Some places might allow it if they are over 16, with parental permission. I've known it to happen in two instances. One was a high school student who married a teacher after graduation. The other was a college professor who married a student.
