J2 with US citizen child. How to file?
Hi there!
I am a J-2 visa holder and am here in US since November 2008. I have an Employment Authorization Document and SSN. Mi wife has J-1 visa and is here in US since August 2008. We have a baby who was born in October, 2009. I have worked for two companies during 2009 and have recently received W2 forms from them. Can you please help me with answers to these questions? 1. Should I file as a Resident or Non-Resident? 2. Can I claim for my child tax credit since she is a US citizen? 3. Which forms I should file? And can I file jointly with my wife or not? 4. Which tax exemptions apply to me? We are from Armenia. Thanks in advance!

Home Country?
The critical issue in your case is your home country, because how you file is dictated by the tax treaty.
So, what is your home country??

Both Case
In both cases, you must file as non-resident aliens, which means you CANNOT claim your child as a dependent, even if he/she is a U.S. citizen.
Further, starting in 2009, you also CANNOT claim the child for the $1,000 Child Tax Credit, because, to claim the credit, you MUST be able to claim the child as a dependent.
