Latest question
“My RSUs vested and I still have salary in India. What belongs on the US return?”
For a resident year, the RSU value at vest is usually US compensation, and it should already appear on the W-2. Counting it again as extra income is the common mistake. Salary that an India employer paid in the same resident year still has a place on the US return. A year split with India is different: the months before you became a resident are not treated like the months after.
Points usually missed
- Whether the vest and the India salary fall in the same resident year.
- Shares withheld for tax at vest, so the cash you received is not the full amount.
- A bonus paid after you moved, for work done before the move.
