Home country salary from US salary
Hi,
I am a L1 visa holder from india and was working in Massachusetts from aug 2005 to dec 2005 as a contractor from my original company in india.
I used to receive the US salary from aug 2005 to dec 2005 for which I have the W2.
During the same period I also used to receive my indian salary (paid by my company in india).
This indian salary given was nothing but a part of US salary.
My US Pay slips show some amount as "indian salary"
I notice that in the W2 issued to me this indian salary has not been deducted since I have already paid the tax for this amount in india.
Can I subtract this india salary amount from my US taxable income and pay the tax?
How should I be considering this india salary amount in my tax returns for 2005?
Regards
