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
