Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@yashK , based on your post you are a Non-Resident Alien for the year 2019 --I am assuming here that you came into the country on F-1  in 2015  ( please confirm this )-- therefore you would be exempt from counting days present till the end of the calendar year 2019.  The H-1B adjust of status  starts your days present counting from the day of  adjustment of status.  Thus you would still not have met the substantial  presence test  till sometime in  Feb/March of 2020.    As NRA , you are taxed  by the USA ONLY on your USA sourced  / connected income.   Your Indian income is immune  from US taxation till you pass the substantial presence test in 2020.

 

Does this help?
