The same rules apply if both spouses are in the States as of December 31, 2008, with the exception that some, or all, of the foreign income can be excempted. Whether or not a foreign spouse that spend no time in the USA prior to 2009, while the USC spouse returned to the US, can be claimed as a dependent for 2008 is something unanswerred so far.

I hope the OP will enlighten us, if he finds an answer before we do.

Hokey Smoke!

Rocky: "Baby, are they still mad at us on VJ?"

Bullwinkle: "No, they are just confused."

Hello. Not sure if this is the proper place to ask this question but I got married this year and want to claim my wife on my income taxes when I file early next year. What do I need to claim her as she is still in the Philippines and has never been to USA yet. It normally asks for social security number but of course she has none. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The following link has some good info on filing for a non-resident: http://www.aca.ch/brunaltx.htm . Good luck.

"If you are married to a non-American and you both live overseas,"

An interesting article, but my impression is that the OP is back in the States.

Yes I am in the USA and my wife is still in the Philippines waiting on her visa! Thanks for all who have offered advise and I have nothing more new to add in regard to the question originally posted by me. Thanks again
