Default How do we file 2006 return
You can file as a non-resident alien and claim your wife as a dependent on Form 1040NR...

OR

You can file jointly with your wife and you BOTH choose to be treated as resident aliens for ALL of 2006.

However, by making the joint filing decision, you make your wife liable to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on any OPT assignment she may get after she graduates from school.

Something to think about!

Hope it helps!
