Hi,

I am working in US on L1. I came in Late September'08 and will be moving back sometime in April'09 this year.

I have filed my US TAX return for the yr2008 for my period of stay in 2008.

Question: If I return after March 31st'09. Say on 5 th April will I be liable to pay double taxation for 5 days ?

How is this double taxation calculated ? And In what condition I have to pay this in case I assume that I will have to leave sometime in April'09.

Thanks,
Junu

Junu:

You will file a dual-status return for 2009. On this return, you will pay taxes ONLY on income earned while in the U.S.

So, to answer your question, no, there will be no double taxation.
