Hi @ashishjwr, what did you do for your situation?
I'm in the same boat this year. I came to the USA in February. My CA says paystubs are not accepted as proof. What documents did you submit while filing your tax in India?
Pay stubs show withholding. For social security and Medicare tax, that is the actual tax you paid, but for state and federal income tax, withholding is only an estimate of the taxes you might owe, and your 2024 tax bill is not final until you file your return in the spring of 2025. (At which point you might owe more tax or get a refund, depending on whether your withholding was less or more than your actual tax.)
