Deductions & credits

@rm2701 

It's not double-taxation, the problem is the different tax years.  Under US law, any withholding is only an estimate of the tax you might owe, and your tax is only officially computed on your tax return that covers 1/1/24-12/31/24 and will be filed around March or April 2025.  So you may have had withholding on the relocation bonus, but that is not really your official tax.  If you can only claim credit on your India return for 1/1-3/1/24, you would claim the rest of the credit next year.  But how to document your US tax owed for the Indian tax year?

 

@pk will have to help you resolve the problem of the differing tax years.  It's not something I understand or can deal with.
