@pottaanon , if I understand your scenario correctly:
(a) you a Resident for Tax purposes and have been so for a few years;
(b) you are on H-1B visa which has not expired i.e. it is still current
(c) you left USA in Jan of 2021 and plan to stay abroad ( Home Country ) till Aug of 2021
(c) you have had wages (?) from USA during this sojourn abroad -- (working remotely from India ?)
Now the question is whether any gains from disposing of assets in India ( home country ) would be taxable income in the USA.
If the above is correct then (1) your work in India ( unless just temporarily present --- need Indian tax code definition ) would generally be classified as India sourced income and India should be taxing it. Of course IRS will try to assert that because you received payments in the USA ,shown on W-2 , closer connection to the USA, the doctrine of income is sourced to your tax home / where work is executed is not applicable here etc. etc.
(2) because you are still receiving income, being treated as an employee and your work visa was never terminated ( no exit/sailing permit ? ) that in fact you are a resident for tax purposes for the whole year of 2021 and therefore taxed on your world income including gains from disposal of assets anywhere on the planet.
That is what I opine ---- but am willing to be convinced otherwise with situational data or error in my assumptions of the case.
Is there more I can do for you ?
Namaste
