Hi,
I was working in India till April, 2014 and came to US in May, 2014. (Till April Indian Salary, for that till march Already filed income tax return there & From may earned salary in US).
My Wife came here in Aug., She was also working in India till June, for her also filed income tax return in India till March.
The income we received was before coming to US.
Now filing Tax in US as Married Filing Jointly, please help me on below queries -
1. Is it necessary to show income I earned in India till April and my wife earned till June ?
2. If yes, how the tax calculation will be done, because we have already paid tax in India?
3. If we don't show the income received there, then what is the issue ?
Thanks
Ashish
