Question

Working From offshore

Forum|Forum|4 years ago

I'm on H1B - non immigrant work visa. 4 months of 2021, I did my work from India. During this time I was on US payroll.

- How does this affect my tax?

- Am I supposed to mention my offshore work while filling tax returns? How can I do that?

- Are there any tax agreements or policies between US and India regarding such situations?

Your H1B non-immigrant work visa does not affect your taxes.

You were in US for more than 183 days and you qualify to file as a resident, regular tax return.
You were on US payroll for those four months, and it is a US source of income even though you worked from India. All US sources of income is to be reported in the tax return.
There is no need to mention your working from India anywhere in the tax return.
There is no tax treaty between US and India on this subject.
