2011 Taxes and Interview date in May

Guys, what is 1099? My husband has sent me his tax extension, W2, and a letter explaining why he hasn't filed his taxes yet, but I'm not aware of what a 1099 is.

1099 is an interest income form. If your spouse has saving account or checking accounts and if interest is earned, bank institution will issue this form. If available, he can scan a copy for you. That is what I did for my wife.

Got it already. Thanks

I think most of visa applicants do get into a dilemma about filling 2011 year return if they were married in 2011 and planning to file a joint return after spouse enters in USA in 2012.

I was in the same dilemma initially. After reading IRS (Internal Revenue Service) tax guidelines, I figured it's always advisable to file your tax return by deadline even though you are eligible for a refund. IRS does allow taxpayer to amend their tax return within 3 years from the date it is filed. Even if you filed as a single initially for 2011, you can amend return as filling jointly after your spouse come to USA in 2012. That is not an issue at all. I have verified in IRS tax guidelines and also verified with various CPA. I have already filed my return for 2011 and not claiming my wife in it for now. But I will amend my return after she comes to USA in 2012.
