Hi
I have been in US since March 2007 with my employer one of the Indian IT companies
In Jan 07, Feb 07 I received Indian salary from my employer - taxes were deducted as well. In April I received a bonus again in india and taxes were dedcuted.
From March 07 onwards I have been drawing my salary in US and my W2 contains the US income. I did not have any Indian salary for that period other than the bonus mentioned above. I understand for Tax purposes I am a resident having spent more than 183 days
Here are my questions
1) I understand I should be declaring my Indian income and claiming tax credit for that. But does that income need to be of Jan and Feb when I was not a resident of US, i.e should I declare my entire Indian income for year 2007 or do I need to declare my income received only for the period while I was living in US
2) What are the supporting documents do I have to attach along with the 1116.
Is the supporting documents like pay stubs of foreign income is required while filing the return?
3) If I am applying for TIN number(using W7) for my wife while filing federal return,
Then I cannot file my state return until I get my wife's TIN.
Sorry for this huge post - replies would be extremely appreciated
Thanks
