Get your taxes done using TurboTax

sahababu, as I understand the providend fund scheme, it grows and is available to you only when you retire --- the earnings are tax free but only at distribution time.  By that logic, I do not believe you have to declare and / or pay taxes on the earnings in the USA. However, if your long term plan is to settle  down in the USA and retire here, it may be worth considering whether it is advantegous to you to declare the earnings now and get it out of the way.

Also note that  if the  amount is large  enough >= US$90K, and depending on your filing status, there  may be FATCA reporting requirement.

Is there anything else I can help you with ??---pk
