Can we work in India with USA Package

[pvelamur]

Hi,

I became an USA citizen in 2011 May and got my PIO card.
In my current job I can work remotely by staying any where in the world. My manager is ok with me to work from India
with the USA salary.
What are the tax implications. Do we need to stay in this country for any specific time during a year if you are receiving salary here

Thanks

There is no requirement that you have to be physically in the US if you receive salary here. However, be sure that you file your taxes on both your US income and your World income; that is, even if you work from India, you need to file your taxes on your total income (both US and World) with the IRS since you are a US citizen. Check the IRS link below for International Taxpayers:

I would also suggest to check what your situation is regarding state taxes. You might be exempt from state taxes or maybe you need to file state taxes as a non-resident. Check with the Department of Revenue website of your state.
