    Tax returns.what I need to do
    I recently moved to US on a L1B visa some 4 months back
    My concern is what should I do with respect to the tax returns filing?
    Do I need to file?If yes on what basis?As a non-resident alien?
    An my another question is - Am I exempt from backup withholding?

    If someone could throw some light on this, it'd be great!. Thanks!

    If you were paid in your home country currency and did NOT receive a W-2, your salary is likey exempt from income taxes.

    If youDID get a W-2, then you should file as a non-resident alien, filing Form 1040NR-EZ.
