How can I ensure that my U.S. salary is properly reported in India?
-
Could my tax consultant have missed India's foreign income rules? Since my U.S. salary wasn't included in my Indian return, should I check my residency status to see if I need to file Schedule FA or claim DTAA relief to prevent future problems?

@Pindi_Power It’s a good idea to verify this. India’s tax rules for foreign income can be tricky, and if you qualify as a tax resident, you might be required to report your U.S. salary. I recommend checking your residency status and seeing if you need to file Schedule FA or claim DTAA relief. It’s the best way to ensure everything is compliant and to avoid any surprises from the tax department.
