    How to determine Filing status
    I am in US since May 2008 on L1 Visa. I have below tax return related questions

    1. What is my filing status? Resident alien, non resident alien or dual status alien.
    2. I was paid and taxed in India from Jan to April 2008. Is this income taxable again in US? What if I do not include this income in US tax return.
    3. What are the forms that I should fill.


    Thanks in advance
