Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@SRIRAM-VARADAN , Namaste SriRam ji.
1. based on your answers to my question, the usual way to handle the bonus income ( based on work performed in 2023 but received in 2024 ) would be through an amended 2023 return. I am assuming here that your employer ( for 2023) has provided you with tax document showing this bonus ( generally reported with a 1099-NEC ) . This would mean that you would be subject to SECA taxes ( Equivalent to FICA but at 15.3% ,) in addition to State and federal taxes .
Some employers add the bonus on the W-2 for the following year.
2. Since you had moved out of the country some time around April of 2024, your visitor visa having expired, you probably did not meet the SPT ( 183 days of presence counting all days present in 2024 + 1/3rd. the days present in 2023 + and 1/6th. the days present in 2022 ) for the tax year 2024. Thus being a NRA for the tax year 2024, you file a form 1040-NR ( not supported by TurboTax -- use a service like SprinTax, a tax professional or ?? ) and taxed by US ONLY on US sourced income ( in your case , rental income, interest/dividend etc. ).
3. Note that I don't know how long you have been in the USA. If you are treated as a long-term resident of the USA, then there are expatriation permit/tax implications. Also your ownership of residential property. bank accounts, investment accounts etc. may suggest that you have substantial US financial connection and therefore should be treated as a Resident for tax purposes for 2024 ( thus brining your world income under US tax purview ).
Perhaps you should consider having a discussion with a tax professional familiar with international taxation ( this forum is not a substitute for such discussion ), especially if you intend to maintain your financial connections (to US) for long term.
Is there more I can do for you ?
Namaste ji
