    How to file my tax return
    Hi,

    I entered US in mid November 2008 on L1b. Now I have received a W2 form from my employer. Can you help me how I should file my taxes? Should I visit H&R block and get it done from them?

    Thanks,
    Venke

    Hi Venke,

    You have to file here in the US and depending on what country you are coming from, you have to file there as well. Usually, the tax you paid in the US carries over to the other country you may be filing in, but that also depends on the specifics of that country's rules and tax treaty with the US, if applicable.

    If you need my professional tax help, contact me at [email protected]. I would be more economical than H&R Block.

    venkehv:
    If you are not married, then you will file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. Download 1040NR-EZ from Internal Revenue Service and go through it. You can also claim moving expenses. Read Your U.S. Tax Return: Moving Expenses

    If you are married, then you have more choices.
