Any help will be appreciated.

April 15th

is the dead line. After this date there is a penalty. Procedure and forms depend on many factors - are you married, is your wife in US, do you have dependants in US, how lond have you been in US etc. You should read a lot of publications to choose the right form (1040, 1040-EZ etc). If you file joint return and your wife is on H-4 she will need ITIN, which is issued by IRS in 4-6 weeks. And on... I think you are a little late but depends on your case. Hurry up !!!

Good luck

For Tax purposes you are a resident...

Make sure that your employer has mailed you a W-2. Use the following link http://www.irs.gov/formspubs or got your local library and pick up the relevant forms and instructions (as posted by babait) and send it. It is not complicated and most probably 1040 EZ would be the best form to fill.
