@abhi1024 ,  you have to look at your agreement with your employer.   I know for a fact  when I was in a similar situation , my US employer used my US income and my foreign income to create a Gross-up  and on top the of agreement to  keep my hypothetical US taxes the same, created more complex issues.  Companies  do this all the time.  So I would suspect that the your Indian Employer is on correct legal grounds.    I would suspect that you are getting paid both in India and the USA. and paying taxes in both India and the USA.   IMHO, they are probably correct -- depends on what the actual agreement calls for.  I would not rock the boat without clear understanding of the agreements  for the deputation.   Is there more  can do for you ?

Turbotax Premier asking for total amount of IRAs as of 12/31/2024 during interview. Why? Have Never been asked this question during 15+ years of Turbotax.  How do you get values without just adding up in your log ons with financial institutions? More overreach and data Mining !

I received a notification in the Mail stating my electronic payment could not be processed due to insufficient funds in my account. How ever the entire amount was indeed withdrawn.
Hi Kristina, Box 14 had a negative amount in it, so that's what I put on the k-1 box 14.  But with code "A" in box 14 selected, the amount in box 14 doesn't matter, positive or negative.   It seems ... See more...
Hi Kristina, Box 14 had a negative amount in it, so that's what I put on the k-1 box 14.  But with code "A" in box 14 selected, the amount in box 14 doesn't matter, positive or negative.   It seems to assume that all capital losses as well as ordinary income losses are due to self employment (not actually true here), and get added back into 8960 4b (disallowed).  So taxes go up. Thanks!

This is very frustrating. California Amended returns can be e-filed, but Turbo Tax is not giving an option to mail the Amended return in. I have used all my allowed e-files for family, and I do not want to purchase the professional edition just for this one return.

We have been renting a building for business purposes for 17 years but renovated before moving in,  and therefore lots of leasehold improvements that we have depreciated over the years.  Just before our lease ended last summer, we had to do a bunch more renovating/repairs (due to aging, not misuse) that we agreed to with the owner.  Do we add that amount to the leasehold improvements or simple contribute it to repairs.

For real estate, you don't divide the percentage like you referred to; you report 100%.  However, TurboTax is not set up to automatically report this situation (and in prior years directly told you to report it incorrectly and pay WAY more tax than you should).  It isn't easy to report it, so you may consider a tax professional this year. If you try it in TurboTax, you need to know:   How much depreciation was taken. Exact purchase price (including closing costs that add to the Basis). Exact selling price (after subtracting pertinent selling fees).   Without knowing the exact numbers, my first guess is that you have no gain and no loss.  But if you have a 1099-S, it needs to be reported.

In reddit, there is some evidence that people tried the identity protection PIN route, but ended up still having to submit by mail instead of electronically.  Plus, since it wasn't fraud, I'm worried that requesting the ID protection PIN will throw a bad light on my dependent's return event though she successfully corrected it, or on us for all future returns.  But I also worry that just filing by mail will delay the IRS receiving our payment now that it is April 19! (I just kept clicking resubmit since April 15.)
