回複：use 1040 regular form as resident

我去年用1040A。 My status is on Resident Alien. I read the W-7 form instruction. It seems that I can file the married jointly. My wife can apply an ITIN as the spouse of resident alien with the tax return form.

1. If we can file jointly, do I need put my wife's income (RMB, small amount) into the line7?

2. If I can file jointly, is it ok that I claim my son as our dependent althought he stayed with me for about 5 monthes and stayed with his mom in China for the rest tome of 2005? Does that mean I can help my little son to apply an ITIN with my tax return form.

Thanks a lot, Just want to make sure.
