Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@sundepsony , agreeing with my colleagues  @Critter-3  and @NCperson , on W-4 and the reasonings thereof.  I just wanted to add  for 2023 tax year  you will remain  a Non-Resident Alien ( NRA )  --- unless you seek changes   ( which my view would not help your tax situation ) .  The NRAs  need to file  their  tax return on form 1040-NR  ( not supported by TurboTax  ( you can do it yourself  but also can use  SprinTax,  or Tax Professional  , familiar with international taxing  and US-India Tax treaty.

 

Note that as a Non-Resident Alien,  you are taxed  on ONLY US sourced / connected income ( not your world income ), must use itemized deduction and you file Married    ( essentially single for tax purposes ).  Also any passive income (US sourced  interest , dividend etc.  ) would be taxed at a flat rate of 30%..

 

Come Jan of 2024, you should  give your employer a new  W-4  , claiming Married Filing Joint..

 

Is there more one of us can do for you ?
