I think federal tax is exempt only under some circumstances. I will discuss with my employer.

I have a W-2 each for both jobs.

Carol,

It was my employer who did not withdraw any taxes. If I opt to pay it here I will owe money here. But yes I will save in India.

It was not something I did. It was my employer who did...

Details about me.

I was on f1 and now on h1b.

I was taxed while on CPT (F1) but my employer did not withdraw any federal tax for OPT and the short period of H1B.

I do not meet SPT and I am a...

Since I am an Indian citizen and a resident of India for tax purposes (hence non-resident of the US for tax purposes) the double taxation agreement applies to me.

In India, I will be taxed for my...

Thanks ATE.

I think some people don't file at all but I don't know the legality of it.

Contact 'Atlanta Tax Expert' who posts here. He seems to be knowledgeable. I have no links with him and I don't know him...

Bump for an answer

I am not 100% clear about it but I think you need to be paid while you are on an H1B visa. You have the visa only because you are working. I am not very knowledgeable about this. This is something...

How can you not have an income when you are on H1B? Please talk to your H1B sponsor. I think you are supposed to be a full-time salaried employee.

Other than the benefit of standard deduction, I am paying tax in the US.

So should I be paying taxes in India too?

Are students who are non-resident in the US for tax purposes, subject to tax in India?

If so how can the back taxes be paid?

Should we submit that we were subject to taxes in India because we...

Thanks Texas Tax Expert.

The people who make International Student Taxes have put a special resource page for Indians.

I am stuck on a point in this page....

I am amending what I said in reply #5 in this reply.

According to what Texas Tax expert said, a person on F1 is a student.

All right. So even if he/she is on OPT the person is considered a Student.

I got your point Texas Tax Expert.

vdarbhe, if a person on OPT is regarded as a trainee then you are a resident.

Otherwise non-resident.

Even I am confused but Atlanta Tax Expert did seem to base a reply on that though I might...

Isn't someone on OPT a trainee rather than a student?

Aren't the rules different?

Please confirm.

Wasn't he a trainee during the earlier part of year 2006?

Doesn't it depend on how many tax years he was in the US before 2006? (If more than 2 means he will need an exemption otherwise the number...

I am not sure if interest on savings account in a US bank is taxable unless it is directly related to a US trade or business.

Please clarify with a tax professional.

Please contact your employer as soon as possible to obtain your W-2.

Also contact your international students office for further guidance.

Please do this as soon as possible.

You are a resident for tax purposes. 1040EZ... just my opinion though. I am no tax expert.

I think you are a resident for the year 2005.

But I am not a tax expert of any form whatsoever. So wait till some professional gives you advice.

I don't if replying to myself will be frowned upon here.

I just want to clarify that I believe I will have to fill in both the 'Trainee' and 'Student' parts.

Also that I won't have to add any...

Badger, how long have you been in the US prior to 2004? That matters too.

badger83, read the instructions for Part II- Teachers and Trainees for Form 8843.

It is clear from there.

This might help you:
File Form 843 Refund of Social Security and Medicare Taxes on OPT, J1 - J1 Tax,OPT Tax,F1 Tax

Hi I moved from F1, then was on OPT and finally on H1.

I have figured out that I am a non-resident alien for tax purposes.

But there is very little instruction for filling Form 8843.
