    Kiran:

    1) You will owe taxes on money earned while in the U.S. Total income will be about $15,000. The taxes should be withheld from your paychecks. What you owe exactly will depend on whether you qualify for any treaty exemptions. Check out IRS Pub 901 for details, which can be downloaded from www.irs.gov.

    2) You will need to file Form 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR.

    3) You can file from anywhere in the world, but efiling Form 1040NR-EZ or 1040NR will be difficult.

    4) Your company should provide you a W-2 to document your U.S.-based pay.
