Tax treaty benefits???
Hi All,
I am from India and I came to US in 2005. I had taken the benefits of the tax treaty for the year 2005 so I did not pay any tax on my income of year 2005. In 2006 I did not take the benefits of the treaty and all the federal and state taxes were deducted from my salary (i.e. I payed all the taxes for 2006 income for which I wll be filing form 1040NREZ this year). I had few questions.
1. Now I am supposed to pay the tax for my income of 2005. I am filing form 1040NREZ. On which line I should include the income from year 2005.
2. In 2005 no state taxes were withheld from my salary and I paid nothing, but still filed the state income tax return form. My question is wheather or not I have to pay the state income tax for 2005 also.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thaks in advance.
