I agree with you and even my understanding is same that the rules for property is same and it should not be double taxed in USA however it needs to be declared. I even doubt that we should declare that income here in USA.
Also, how do we enter the tax details separately for income from house rental and income from the bank interest. India does not calculate taxes differently and also the fiscal tax calendar is different. too much confusion and TurboTax help is also not very good on this subject.
