    TAX exempt for L1 visa, working less than 6months in US
    Hello,

    I am on L1 visa in Texas. I am transferred to US office payroll from July 27th 2008. Will I get tax exempt?
    I am in US with my wife(not working) and Son(4 years).

    Also, I was in US from Feb 2008 to May 2008(no family) and went back to India. During this period I was still paid in India and was getting expenses reimbursed from India office.

    Please clarify and thanks in advance for your response.

    Your income eared while in the U.S. IS subject to U.S. income taxes, regardless of HOW you got paid.

    The income from 27 Jul 2008 onward is also subject to FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes.
