    This forum is for US tax questions.
    Anyway, most countries have regulations to avoid double taxation, so if you pay taxes on your income in one country you can take a credit for foreign paid taxes in the other country you are filing a return.
    If you want more details for taxation in India, you can ask in this forum http://mytaxes.in

    Redundant post.

    What TaxesForAlien says is essentially true, but income earned under a J-1 visa as a visiting professor is tax-exempt in BOTH countries under the U.S.-India Tax Treaty. That is probably the underlying reason why there is a two-year cap on the duration of the stay in the treaty itself.
