@dineschha , from your post I am assuming that you are an Indian citizen, in the USA with a H-1 visa and entered USA first in Feb 2017. While in the USA are you employed by the Indian entity or another US entity ? The bonus attributable to Jan-Feb 2017 and paid in 2018 -- does this show on your W-2 for 2017 or what? What is the bonus for ? or is this an extra payment for working in the USA ? Why was the Mar-Dec portion of yearly ( ?) bonus taxable in the USA -- when was it paid and by whom ?
Namaste ji
