NRI Earning Salary in USA and India - Confused with the Tax issues
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 9:09 pm
Question 1) Hi Iam working in USA from the past 2 years as a software engineer, recently I have got an opportunity to work with a small Indian Company on a part time basis ( I can work remotely as it is a software related job, basically to build a website that Indian company owns). And the Indian company agreed to pay me in India and the company will be depositing money in my India Regular Savings Account. My Question is
i) Now that Iam in USA from the past 2 years, where should I pay taxes for the money I earned in India? And do I have to declare the taxes in USA and India.
Question2) I have my wife on H4 dependent Visa(A person with H4 visa, is not eligible to work in USA but eligible to live in USA), she has also got the software job with the same company. Now the question is, where does she file her taxes and does she has to declare the taxes in both USA and India. As I said, she is not eligible to work in USA based on the nature of the visa.
I really appreciate any professional help in this matter. Thankyou.
