SLP: How can I maximise my tax returns?
I am on H1B visa currently working in California since March 2006. Befroe that, I was working in Newyork for 2 months. My wife and my daughter were living with me for more than six months in the year 2006. My wife is a stay at home mom,and my daughter goes to a daycare centre. Does my wife considered as a dependent for filing tax returns? Can I claim the day care expenses of my daughter? They both dont have social security numbers. Does getting the Tax Identification NumberTIN) for them helps to file the tax returns? Can I claim for the airticket fare of their arrival to US. And I have bought a new car. How much can I enter as the registration fee? Any tips and suggestions for maximising my tax returns please?

You really need a qualified tax accountant for all of this.
You MUST have a ITIN number for your spouse and child to report them on your tax return. You would submit the W& and supporting documentation with your return to the Austin Service Center.
You cannot claim the expenses for bringing them to the US
Your spouse must be employed to claim the Child and Dependant care credit.
You need to talk to a Tax Professional, there are too many details that need to be investigated to give you proper answers
