Hi
I was in USA for last 3 years on H1. In 2015, I was in USA till 4th July 2015 and then we left for India. I returned on 1st Dec.
I understand i am a resident alien in USA based on substantial presence test so I have to declare Global income.
But 5 months I was in India, I paid tax as well for Indian salary i received form my employer. Since that income was earned in India and already taxed, do i need to declare it in my US tax return?
If yes, how do i claim it for double tax in India.
