HI All,

I came in US on 11th JUNE 2011. But then I went back to INDIA for a month on a vacation, which means that I have not completed the 180 days in US for the tax calculation of 2011. I am still in US.

I am on a H1b visa

I wanted to know... Will I get full tax refund or is there any disadvantage/loss of being in US for less than 180 days for last tax year (2011)

Thanks in advance

You are liable for taxes on salary earned while in the U.S. while on a H-1 B visa

Thank you for replying so quickly but is there any disadvantage/loss of being in US for less than 180 days for last tax year (2011)

If you are on a H-1B visa, that means you are being employerd by a U.S. company. Hence, your income is U.S.-sourced. If the income is U.S.-sourced froma "permanent base" in the U.S. it is irrelevant HOW LONG you are here. You ARE subject to income taxes (both federal and state) on that income.
