I am currently in the US. I have arrived in US on Oct 2008 and leaving for India on June 09. I have 8000 USD. I want to take the money to India. My question is that whether I need to pay tax on this money in India? I have already paid tax on my US Income in US in 2008 and will also like 2009 return.

This forum deals with the U.S. taxes. For India taxes, try mytaxes - Index (http://mytaxes.in)

When it comes time to file your 2009 tax return, you will have to file a dual-status return, which requires filing BOTH Form 1040 and 1040NR,

Suggest you get professional help filing such a return.
