I have a question. I came to the US with a K1 visa in June 2008. Until May in 2008, I was working in Japan.

I got my GC in Dec 10th 2008. I have been working in the US since November 2008.

My husband and I are planning to file jointly. Do I have to claim my income in Japan? I was paying tax monthly there.

And my husband says I do not need to claim my income because it was low.

I made only about 4000. That's it. since then I was unemployed because of EAD.

You need to report your worldwide income in the US tax return.

However, you can exclude your foreign earned income or claim a foreign tax credit.

For more information, take a look at IRS Publication 54.
