1) Is your husband employed by the UK?\n2) Are you working?\n3) Will your husband immigrate to US or will you immigrate to UK?\n\nIf your husband does not work for the US and he is not immigrating to the US then he does not have to file US taxes.\n\nIf you earned any income in 2005, then you must file.\n\nIf your husband is in the process of immigrating to the US then he can get a taxpayer ID number (TID) for now (equivalent of SSN but only for tax purposes).  With this TID, you can file a joint return but read the pamphlet (or go online) to determine what gets reported (if you husband is working for a non US company).

Not necessarily - there is an exclusion of $250,000 for single and $500,000 married filing jointly, assuming that you meet certain tests regarding use and occupancy. See the publication linked below.

Sadly, you cannot.  This is one of the perks of actually being married.  If you are not married and he is not the biological or adoptive father of the kids, he cannot claim you or them on his taxes.  The link below will take you to the page on IRS' web site that explains the four tests for claiming dependents on your taxes.  You have to be able to pass all four in order to claim dependents.

Of corse you can bring your husband with you if you are married. He will need to apply for dependent visa. Here is the quote from ukvisa website. \n\nCan I bring my husband, wife or civil partner and children with me? \n\nYour husband, wife or civil partner and any of your children under 18 can come to the UK with you during your studies, as long as you can support them and live without needing any help from public funds. \n\nhttp://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1018721067373#Q12

I would think he would need a visa of some kind either a work one or stundent one, other then that he would only be allowed over for a few weeks as a holiday. Unless you marry him, which is a big step. \n\n\nYou might find what you are looking for on one of these sites.\n\nhttp://www.opsi.gov.uk\nhttp://www.homeoffice.gov.uk\n\nThe home ofice one has a section on visas for people entering the UK, which takes you to another site.\n\nHere is a link to the visa site, it asks you a few questions then tells you if he will need a visa and where to apply for one.\n\nhttp://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1006977149962

I am living overseas as well. As far as I know, you still have to file taxes, even if you are exempt, which you are if you can claim to earn less than $80,000/year as you say.

You could still claim deduction under Section 80GG; where you can state that you are residing at a property where you are a tenant and are paying rent to the landlord. This is via a declaration and is submitted at the time of filing your return.This can be done provided you do not own another house/flat in the same city. \nPersonally I do not think the HRA part will be removed. EET regime though is definetly going to come. further queries,e-mail:shashj97@yahoo.co.in

If you have lived together as man and wife you are entitled to a share of the family assets under British law\n\nIgnore your husband. Go to the CAB as a first step. They will be able to work out your entitlement to legal aid costs and give you a list of local family law solicitors.\n\nGood luck.

Well by just arrived, does that mean you are here on a temp Visa? \n\nMy husband is from London, he came here on a temp Visa and then we got married. Your best bet is to contact an immigration lawyer. \n\nPlease, do it legally.

no.  You can't file head of household if you aren't married and only one person can file head of household anyway.

You have TWO options:\n\n1)  MFJ:  Married Filing Jointly.  Follow the other advice here:  Form W7 to get an ITIN for your wife.  Hire a tax preparer to assist you in getting it right, as it's easy to make a mistake on the form and when you do, it takes forever to rectify it.\n     Pros:  You get MFJ deductions and rates.\n     Cons:  You are taxed on both you and your wife's worldwide income.  If she's got a lot of investments, she ain't gonna be happy about it.  If she's destitute, it's no skin off her back.  If she's somewhere in-between, get advice from a professional tax preparer about whether it makes sense to tax her in the US on her income.\n\n2)  MFS:  Married Filing Separately.  You do not list your wife or include her income on your return.\n     Pros:  No need to get an SSN or ITIN for your wife.  File based only on what you earned.  Easy-peasy.\n     Cons:  Higher tax rates.  Deal with it.\n\nThere is a third option if you have children who are either US citizens or US residents and your wife does not meet the definition of a Resident Alien.  You can file as Head of Household even if you live with your NRA spouse.  The IRS regs on this are quoted below.

If you have "indefinite leave to remain in the UK" then I think you must have been living in the UK for 5 years, unless you are married to a British citizen then it's 3 years.\nI have added a website, hope it helps and good luck.

When you are legally married, you will have to apply for marriage visa.  If it is granted, then they will give you 2 years provisional residency to you as a family member of an EU citizen, and in that 2 years, you will still have to pay over sea prise as a student.  If you are still married after that 2 years, then you will be able to apply for Leave to Remain Indefinite, but I am not too sure if you can drop your tuition price with this status.  I think if you get British nationality your price will drop, but you have to be staying in UK legally for a few years (some people say 5 years, others say 10 years) to apply for that.  \nSo, even if you get married, you will not be entitled to pay the same amount of tuition fee as EU citizen for at least 2 years.  I am sorry.  But you'll be entitled to work full time legally. That's what I can tell you for sure.
