Determining Your Residency Status If you have not already obtained a copy of IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, you should do so. You can either print out a copy from the IRS Web site at Forms and Publications, or call 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) and ask them to mail it to you. On the first few pages of Publication 519 it explains the two tests for determining whether you are a resident or nonresident alien: The green card test and the substantial presence test. Following is a condensed version of that explanation. The Green Card Test You are a lawful permanent resident of the United States if you have been given the privilege, according to the immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant. You generally have this status if the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has issued you an alien registration card, also known as a "green card" (although it is not really green). You are a U.S. resident for tax purposes beginning on the first day you are present in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. As a resident taxpayer you must report, for U.S. tax purposes, your worldwide income. You are also eligible to claim all deductions and credits available to U.S. citizens. You can file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ, whichever is applicable to your situation, and if you are married you can file a joint return with your spouse. See the instructions for the forms. As a resident taxpayer, you still might be eligible to claim treaty benefits under the U.S. tax treaty with your home country. See Tax Treaties. If you receive permanent residency status during the year, you are automatically a resident for U.S. tax purposes from that point forward. However, you might not be considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes for the portion of the year you did not have permanent residency status. That means you might be a dual status alien. See the discussion below about dual status aliens. Back to top. The Substantial Presence Test and Definition of Exempt Individual To meet the substantial presence test, you must be physically present in the U.S. during a period you do not hold an F, J, M or Q visa on at least: 1. 31 days during the current year, and 2. 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the previous two years, counting:
all of the days you were present in the current year, and
1/3 of the days you were present in the first preceding year, and
1/6 of the days you were present in the second preceding year. An exempt individual is someone whose days in the United States are not counted toward the substantial presence test, not someone who is exempt from tax. If you are an exempt individual, you are a nonresident alien until you are no longer an exempt individual, or until you receive permanent residency status. You are generally in this category under the following conditions. Teacher or trainee If you are a teacher or trainee temporarily in the United States on a J or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than two calendar years out of the last six calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U.S. on December 28, 2006 as a trainee on a J visa, and have remained here until now. Your days in this country are exempt from the substantial presence test for 2006 and 2007, but they all count in 2008 and later years. That means you were a nonresident alien in 2006 and 2007. But if you were in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you are considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes in 2008. You will remain so until you leave the country.
Exception: If all of your compensation during the six year period is from a foreign employer, the two year exemption period is extended to four years.
Student If you are a student temporarily in the United States on an F, J, M or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than five calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U. S. on June 4, 2003 as a student on an F visa, and have remained here until 2008. You are a nonresident alien for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. If you are in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you will be a resident for tax purposes in 2008. Members of the family Note that on page 5 of Publication 519 it tells you that if you are an exempt individual, members of your immediate family who are with you in the United States on visas derived from your visa (J-2, F-2, etc.) are also exempt individuals. If they are employed, make sure their employer withholds taxes from their wages based on their nonresident alien status. That usually means taxes should be withheld allowing for no standard deduction. If the employer does not adequately withhold, your family member will end up owing the balance when their tax return is filed.

唉. 手机的讯号也是到处都覆盖着的呀.........
真要是这样. 就要做个金钟罩把自己完全屏蔽掉了
就是，我觉得国内有时候太夸张了。
对了，刚刚从Target回来，crib set有些在30%OFF，就是不知道质量怎么样，还有些其他的东西也打折啦
http://www.target.com/DwellStudio-Target-Bedding-Collection-Zoo/dp/B000VPBOA4/qid=1216932483/ref=br_1_4/601-4956311-3073704?ie=UTF8&node=13794701&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1
我买的这套,LG也很喜欢.30%时买的$56,还买了配套的BOPPY NURSING PILLOW, 也是30%OFF $35
PANDACOCO MM的头像太搞笑了!
嗯.他现在F1, 但是是OPT中.............
反正如果不是绿卡的话，就去做那个substantial presence test
你过了的话，他跟你走也没什么。
生完了，要用那个最长最大的
夜用的可以吧，我还有
我是听说不会影响申绿卡的，好像版上有讨论过，还是闲话，忘了。而且2人都有奖学金的话，基本都会超过那个线，我的没了倒是够申请的了。不过我们也不打算费那个劲了，自己付保险，一年也就2000来块，还是付得起的
反正也没有人说绝对不会. 我们也就不想费那个劲了. 我们两个人的钱差不多也到它的线了. 再加上银行存的话, 申了也拿不到.
不过反正来美国5年多了, 自己从来没有交过保险费, 现在这样还好吧.
一包有多大？
92

美国的医疗制度太成问题了，很多人有保险，大病还是跑到新加坡去看。

其实刚刚贴了一小部分的 网上找的
Determining Your Residency Status
If you have not already obtained a copy of IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, you should do so. You can either print out a copy from the IRS Web site at Forms and Publications, or call 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) and ask them to mail it to you. On the first few pages of Publication 519 it explains the two tests for determining whether you are a resident or nonresident alien: The green card test and the substantial presence test. Following is a condensed version of that explanation.
The Green Card Test
You are a lawful permanent resident of the United States if you have been given the privilege, according to the immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant. You generally have this status if the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has issued you an alien registration card, also known as a "green card" (although it is not really green).
You are a U.S. resident for tax purposes beginning on the first day you are present in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. As a resident taxpayer you must report, for U.S. tax purposes, your worldwide income. You are also eligible to claim all deductions and credits available to U.S. citizens. You can file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ, whichever is applicable to your situation, and if you are married you can file a joint return with your spouse. See the instructions for the forms. As a resident taxpayer, you still might be eligible to claim treaty benefits under the U.S. tax treaty with your home country. See Tax Treaties.
If you receive permanent residency status during the year, you are automatically a resident for U.S. tax purposes from that point forward. However, you might not be considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes for the portion of the year you did not have permanent residency status. That means you might be a dual status alien. See the discussion below about dual status aliens.
Back to top.
The Substantial Presence Test and Definition of Exempt Individual
To meet the substantial presence test, you must be physically present in the U.S. during a period you do not hold an F, J, M or Q visa on at least:
1. 31 days during the current year, and
2. 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the previous two years, counting:
all of the days you were present in the current year, and
1/3 of the days you were present in the first preceding year, and
1/6 of the days you were present in the second preceding year.
An exempt individual is someone whose days in the United States are not counted toward the substantial presence test, not someone who is exempt from tax. If you are an exempt individual, you are a nonresident alien until you are no longer an exempt individual, or until you receive permanent residency status. You are generally in this category under the following conditions.
Teacher or trainee
If you are a teacher or trainee temporarily in the United States on a J or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than two calendar years out of the last six calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U.S. on December 28, 2006 as a trainee on a J visa, and have remained here until now. Your days in this country are exempt from the substantial presence test for 2006 and 2007, but they all count in 2008 and later years. That means you were a nonresident alien in 2006 and 2007. But if you were in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you are considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes in 2008. You will remain so until you leave the country.
Student
If you are a student temporarily in the United States on an F, J, M or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than five calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U. S. on June 4, 2003 as a student on an F visa, and have remained here until 2008. You are a nonresident alien for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. If you are in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you will be a resident for tax purposes in 2008.
Members of the family
Note that on page 5 of Publication 519 it tells you that if you are an exempt individual, members of your immediate family who are with you in the United States on visas derived from your visa (J-2, F-2, etc.) are also exempt individuals. If they are employed, make sure their employer withholds taxes from their wages based on their nonresident alien status. That usually means taxes should be withheld allowing for no standard deduction. If the employer does not adequately withhold, your family member will end up owing the balance when their tax return is filed.
而且我觉得那个medicaid的cover很少呢，不如自己有保险，虽然付的多点，可是安心一些啊。
可能这种所谓低收入的冬冬都酱紫吧，满足最低要求就可以了，不会有任何丝丝“奢侈品”的。
昨天target看过，是30%off，觉得不够白菜呢，想等50%off，嘿嘿。不过我妈买好了被单，我估计在配个bumper就好了。觉得crib set的东西，小被子啥的都不是很有用呢。
总看到白菜这个词，是很便宜的意思吗？
嗯,"退一步"海阔天空. 再说也不一定不是好事呢,现在经济不好,晚毕业更可能找到好工作呢.
现在这个OPT到底怎么work? 3个月怎么把握, 是从什么时候开始的OPT算起的,感觉比较乱.

看来大家都是坚强地过日子，都有头疼的问题~~
不过我们心中有希望，对吧？宝宝来了~~

哈哈,我六月初开始学"CVS大法",当时特狂热,就在DIAPER好DEAL那周抓了2包NB,3包1号和4包2号的,都是一包40片左右. 现在已经有1个多月没去CVS了,开始打靶啦. 近一个月在TARGET散了不少银子,买了一堆有用没用的

还没有研究diaper呢，这个好像看着很复杂的样子啊，我和lg说干脆到costco抓好了。打折的时候会便宜多少呢？
这个又稍微打击了一下我.
没事，离11月还早呢，不用急。我觉得crib set都不急的。不是说bumper最好6个月后才上，infant的床越简单越好吗？我因为想着要搬家，没有买crib，准备先用bassinet用着。
难怪mm跟我一样都在攒魅力值~~
是啊，你比我进步快
你知道这白菜是个啥典故吗？

给MM些TIP,
说是BRAND NAME(PAMPERS, HUGGIES)的DIAPER一般看到$0.15一片的就基本上是最好的DEAL了.我买的好象合$0.17吧,已经挺满足了.
PAMPERS比HUGGIES软,很多妈妈喜欢给小BABY用这个牌子,PAMPERS的Swaddlers(NB,1,2,2-3号)和Cruisers(3,4,5,6,7号)是一个系列REVIEW比较好,尽量不要买Baby Dry系列.
是啊，你比我进步快

哈哈我也不知道
很早我潜水的时候就看华人上的mm喜欢说白菜价的什么货品拉
我想就是说跟白菜一样便宜的东东吧~~
想6年前大学没毕业的时候偶还是未名系版上的一枚主力呢，那时候人们都叫我“水车”（其实我看我现在也蛮水的）

哈哈,我六月初开始学"CVS大法",当时特狂热,就在DIAPER好DEAL那周抓了2包NB,3包1号和4包2号的,都是一包40片左右. 现在已经有1个多月没去CVS了,开始打靶啦. 近一个月在TARGET散了不少银子,买了一堆有用没用的
我就是烦coupon。还什么extra bucks，都是trick人的玩意儿。要是再碰上一个不nice的cashier就要烦死了
没事，离11月还早呢，不用急。我觉得crib set都不急的。不是说bumper最好6个月后才上，infant的床越简单越好吗？我因为想着要搬家，没有买crib，准备先用bassinet用着。
6个月之前好像用那种会呼吸的bumper比较好，之前tangguo mm还是那个jm的说过，可惜偶找不着了。
我现在很后妈地想：大不了到时候用纱布叠几层围一圈好啦。
这种棉厚的还是以后上比较好。

嗯,你说的对.不知道那些牛人怎么ROLL-OVER600多EXTRA BUCK的.
瓦，真哒？
当然不是名牌的那些了，前几天墙绿的diaper好像就可以搞到FREE,反正一堆coupon+rebates,我一看就头大了
我就是想，有丢就捡，没丢costco的amazon的大概也对得起咱了
给MM些TIP,
说是BRAND NAME(PAMPERS, HUGGIES)的DIAPER一般看到$0.15一片的就基本上是最好的DEAL了.我买的好象合$0.17吧,已经挺满足了.

其实刚刚贴了一小部分的 网上找的
Determining Your Residency Status
If you have not already obtained a copy of IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, you should do so. You can either print out a copy from the IRS Web site at Forms and Publications, or call 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) and ask them to mail it to you. On the first few pages of Publication 519 it explains the two tests for determining whether you are a resident or nonresident alien: The green card test and the substantial presence test. Following is a condensed version of that explanation.
The Green Card Test
You are a lawful permanent resident of the United States if you have been given the privilege, according to the immigration laws, of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant. You generally have this status if the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has issued you an alien registration card, also known as a "green card" (although it is not really green).
You are a U.S. resident for tax purposes beginning on the first day you are present in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. As a resident taxpayer you must report, for U.S. tax purposes, your worldwide income. You are also eligible to claim all deductions and credits available to U.S. citizens. You can file Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ, whichever is applicable to your situation, and if you are married you can file a joint return with your spouse. See the instructions for the forms. As a resident taxpayer, you still might be eligible to claim treaty benefits under the U.S. tax treaty with your home country. See Tax Treaties.
If you receive permanent residency status during the year, you are automatically a resident for U.S. tax purposes from that point forward. However, you might not be considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes for the portion of the year you did not have permanent residency status. That means you might be a dual status alien. See the discussion below about dual status aliens.
Back to top.
The Substantial Presence Test and Definition of Exempt Individual
To meet the substantial presence test, you must be physically present in the U.S. during a period you do not hold an F, J, M or Q visa on at least:
1. 31 days during the current year, and
2. 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the previous two years, counting:
all of the days you were present in the current year, and
1/3 of the days you were present in the first preceding year, and
1/6 of the days you were present in the second preceding year.
An exempt individual is someone whose days in the United States are not counted toward the substantial presence test, not someone who is exempt from tax. If you are an exempt individual, you are a nonresident alien until you are no longer an exempt individual, or until you receive permanent residency status. You are generally in this category under the following conditions.
Teacher or trainee
If you are a teacher or trainee temporarily in the United States on a J or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than two calendar years out of the last six calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U.S. on December 28, 2006 as a trainee on a J visa, and have remained here until now. Your days in this country are exempt from the substantial presence test for 2006 and 2007, but they all count in 2008 and later years. That means you were a nonresident alien in 2006 and 2007. But if you were in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you are considered a resident for U.S. tax purposes in 2008. You will remain so until you leave the country.
Student
If you are a student temporarily in the United States on an F, J, M or Q visa, and you have been present in the United States during no more than five calendar years, you are an exempt individual. For example, let's say you entered the U. S. on June 4, 2003 as a student on an F visa, and have remained here until 2008. You are a nonresident alien for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. If you are in the U.S. for at least 183 days in 2008, you will be a resident for tax purposes in 2008.
Members of the family
Note that on page 5 of Publication 519 it tells you that if you are an exempt individual, members of your immediate family who are with you in the United States on visas derived from your visa (J-2, F-2, etc.) are also exempt individuals. If they are employed, make sure their employer withholds taxes from their wages based on their nonresident alien status. That usually means taxes should be withheld allowing for no standard deduction. If the employer does not adequately withhold, your family member will end up owing the balance when their tax return is filed.
哦. 谢谢了
记到本本上了，唉，好记性不如烂笔头阿
我也考皮下来了~
现在这个OPT到底怎么work? 3个月怎么把握, 是从什么时候开始的OPT算起的,感觉比较乱.
嗯. 大家都乱麻似的.ISSO的人也说不清楚..........
哈哈我也不知道
很早我潜水的时候就看华人上的mm喜欢说白菜价的什么货品拉
我想就是说跟白菜一样便宜的东东吧~~
想6年前大学没毕业的时候偶还是未名系版上的一枚主力呢，那时候人们都叫我“水车”（其实我看我现在也蛮水的）
是江湖抛弃了我还是我舍弃了江湖，唉~
华人是个新江湖，我们还要重新打拼
6个月之前好像用那种会呼吸的bumper比较好，之前tangguo mm还是那个jm的说过，可惜偶找不着了。

啊，啥是会呼吸的bumper啊？
抱抱
看来大家都是坚强地过日子，都有头疼的问题~~
不过我们心中有希望，对吧？宝宝来了~~
嗯. 现在最重要的就是宝宝了. 其他的事情都可以以后再考虑
嗯. 大家都乱麻似的.ISSO的人也说不清楚..........
他们要是说得清就不在那儿混了~~
难怪mm跟我一样都在攒魅力值~~
啊，啥是会呼吸的bumper啊？
就是透气的巴.
啊，啥是会呼吸的bumper啊？
就是比较轻薄一些布孔比较大的，看过照片像纱一样咧
怕宝宝挪位窒息的
当然不是名牌的那些了，前几天墙绿的diaper好像就可以搞到FREE,反正一堆coupon+rebates,我一看就头大了
也不知道墙绿的好用不
嗯,你说的对.不知道那些牛人怎么ROLL-OVER600多EXTRA BUCK的.
少的我可以理解, 那么多不是每个household有限制吗?
他们要是说得清就不在那儿混了~~
美国这搞那搞乱得....
华人是个新江湖，我们还要重新打拼
aza aza fighting,哈哈
我终于够180了，干活去了~~
jms好好灌。明天我又要好好爬楼了
我也眼红......我们家也没有. 因为是以NR 报的税
我家运气好，去年刚变resident
那我已经有个BASSINET, 是不是可以考虑先不买CRIB了呢?
我也有个bassinet了，朋友送的。
不过只能用前三个月吧，还有就是如果晚上放bassinet里面睡觉，每次喂奶就得起来抱她。
crib如果是side drop的，就可以把一边给取了，靠着床，这样要喂奶就扒拉过来。
如果自己睡的床够大也可以就放床上一起睡。

算一年的，就算是12月31号生的，也是一年
老公还没来接我下班。。。惨

我看着bassinet就觉得cute呢，好喜欢啊，虽然没啥用处。
JMs觉得那个CARRIER是必须品吗? 感觉好像把宝宝兜在胸前比放在STROLLER里面要更贴近一些呢. 但是不知道多大的宝宝才能用CARRIER呢?
我认识的中国宝宝都没有用这个的，好像因为中国宝宝长得大，所以能用的时间很短？
我想这个主要是大城市用吧，还是放stroller里面比较好。
算一年的，就算是12月31号生的，也是一年
这个真是振奋人心的消息啊,再次散花!

有没有啥收入上限的要求？
我也很烦那些搞来搞去的deal, 最希望直接降价就好了。
不过这个deal的白菜值估计和花的时间精力是成正比的，越白菜的deal越需要花时间去弄。
我好像几年没有进过CVS, Walgreens的门了。是不是为了宝宝的尿布开始学习一点呢？

我本来很想买的，可是觉得在俺们这乡下，出门都靠车，用的机会少，还是指望stroller吧，不过如果回国啥的，我觉得还是挺好用的。
今天去检查，早上出门前喝了上次医生给糖水，到了医院抽血，刚刚拿到结果，正常，呵呵，担心了一个月一小时血糖测试没啥感觉的就过了：）
恭喜～～～～～
我担心这个呢，现在开始不随心所欲吃甜的了

啊，我还听说公司的保险比较好呢。我学校的大部分都要自己付20％，但是我收到的帐单都只要10％，可能怀孕的cover10%吧，我没仔细看。我LG学校的只有在附属的医院里是不用付钱的，其他基本都是20％
我老公学校的保险很好，就第一次看OB的时候给15块钱copay，然后再也不给了。

我现在在看那个<斯波克育儿经>. 他就挺反对把宝宝放在车里的..........
打击MM以下哈,那个退税学生好象不行呀,因为用1040-NR报税.
退税和tax rebate是两个事情吧。
tax rebate不行，不过5年以上的F1就已经是resident了，不是NR。
恭喜～～～～～
我担心这个呢，现在开始不随心所欲吃甜的了
嗯. 我本来不担心的. 但是上次去OB那的时候太大意了.........
可惜我从ATLANTA买回来的那些好吃的都进LG肚子了
我现在在看那个<斯波克育儿经>. 他就挺反对把宝宝放在车里的..........
为啥？
我还有一堆没用过的卫生棉，还有没开包的呢，是扔掉了呢，还是明年来YJ了接着用，好困扰啊
生了孩子就要用这个了吧。
还没有研究diaper呢，这个好像看着很复杂的样子啊，我和lg说干脆到costco抓好了。打折的时候会便宜多少呢？
costco的太大包了。

mm可以说说baby dry的为什么不好吗？
我看着bassinet就觉得cute呢，好喜欢啊，虽然没啥用处。
是很cute，我朋友给我这个还是粉色的，是两层的，宝宝大一点了，上面那层取了，下面还可以把宝宝放进去玩。
