Hi netters
I called ins for filing status, as a PR from last Aug. (my wife was not pr last
year). it is to my advantage to use 1040a only instead of dual status (i have 
a kid and by doing so i can have earned income credit). but a lady, by 
consulting pub. 519, said i must file dual status.
i know that some chose to file l040 only. can we do that?
Any info about this? thanks
