Do You Need to File a US Tax Return?
If you earned income in the United States — through employment, a business, investments, or rental property — the IRS may require you to file a US federal tax return, regardless of where you currently live. Many NRIs and former visa holders are unaware that their US tax obligations don't disappear when they return to India.
Filing correctly — and claiming treaty benefits under the India-US DTAA — can significantly reduce what you owe while maintaining absolute immigration compliance.
H-1B Visa Holders
Working in the US on H-1B? You are likely a US tax resident and must file Form 1040. We handle federal and state returns alongside W-2 reconciliations.
F-1 & OPT Students
F-1 visa holders on OPT are non-resident aliens filing Form 1040-NR, exempt from FICA taxes in most cases with treaty benefits lowering tax burdens.
L-1 Visa Holders
L-1 intracompany transfers may be resident or non-resident aliens depending on substantial presence tests. We determine residency status accurately.
Returned NRIs
Returned to India with unfiled US returns? We handle multi-year back returns, penalty abatement requests, and IRS correspondence directly.
US Investment Income
Earning US dividends, rental income, or capital gains from a US brokerage? This income remains US-taxable even as an NRI.
Green Card Holders in India
Green card holders are worldwide US tax residents even while living in India. We file 1040s, manage FBARs, and advise on green card considerations.
What We File For You
Every form you need — managed with precision under active PTIN clearance
Form 1040 / 1040-NR — Federal Income Tax Return
The core US tax return. Form 1040 is for US tax residents (H-1B, green card holders). Form 1040-NR is for non-resident aliens (F-1, returned NRIs). We determine applicable forms, claim deductions, and apply India-US DTAA treaty benefits.
FBAR — FinCEN Form 114
US persons with Indian accounts, mutual funds, or FDs exceeding $10,000 in aggregate must file an FBAR. Penalties for non-filing are severe. We ensure accurate electronic filing through the BSA portal.
FATCA — Form 8938
FATCA requires US persons to report specified foreign financial assets above statutory thresholds ($50,000 single / $100,000 married). We prepare Form 8938 as an integrated part of your federal return.
India-US DTAA — Double Taxation Avoidance
Preventing double taxation on identical income streams across borders. We claim foreign tax credits for taxes paid in India and apply treaty exemptions (such as Article 21 for students).
State Tax Returns
Filing state income tax returns for California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, and all other states where you incurred tax obligations during the year.
Back-Year Returns & Penalty Abatement
Utilizing IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures to file delinquent returns with reduced penalties, responding to notices, and requesting penalty relief.
Costly Mistakes NRIs Make With US Taxes
Avoid errors that trigger IRS audits and heavy statutory penalties
Assuming You Don't Need to File After Leaving the US
If you had US-source income during the tax year, a filing obligation exists regardless of current residence in India.
Not Filing FBAR for Indian Bank Accounts
Forgetting that Indian savings, NRO/NRE accounts, and mutual funds must be reported if aggregate balances exceed $10,000.
Using a Non-IRS-Registered Tax Preparer
Preparing US returns for compensation without a valid IRS PTIN is illegal and exposes you to errors with zero professional accountability.
Missing India-US DTAA Treaty Benefits
Failing to claim treaty exemptions or foreign tax credits due to incorrect treaty position statements on self-filing.
Incorrectly Determining Resident vs. Non-Resident Status
Confusing visa category with tax residency under the Substantial Presence Test (183-day rule).
Ignoring Unfiled Prior Years
Allowing unfiled obligations to accumulate rather than utilizing proactive IRS streamlined compliance programs.
