    Tax payable in US from online income in India for an H1B visa holder
    Hello,

    I am on an H1B visa in the US. If I have additional income from online consultancy work that is being generated in India that is subject to TDS (tax deducted at source) in India, do I have to report that income to the IRS here in the US for tax purposes?

    Thanks
