Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@samartur , Namaste ji.  You are up early ---  about 7 am your time.

I was going to ask you about Social Security -- because  almost all  treaties, the distributing country ONLY retains the right to tax  SSA benefits.  I recognize that  SSA probably only applies to you since most of Calif  govt  employees do not participate in SSA contribution   ( they use CalPers ). 

You only option here is to get credit from India. However I don't know how many years back you can go.  US will  collect for as many years as it can get ( at least six ) but refund is limited to three years.

 

Is there anything more I can do for you ?

May I suggest ( since this now is getting more specific to your case only ) that you use  PM  ( the contents  are not visible to general user , just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information ) hereafter.  That way you can freely discuss.  I am in California -- PDT.
