IRS - Foreign Earned Income Exclusion
Hi,
I came to the US in March 2015 on H1B (a resident alien now) and have been working here itself since then.
After a year, I started providing part time professional services to a company in India who pays salary in Indian Rupees in India itself. This earning in India is taxable in India. Please note that I am rendering these services to a foreign (Indian) agency while I am living as well as having a full-time job here in the USA .
I would like to know what impact does it have on my taxation in the US.
1. Will the "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion" apply to my case?
2. What forms should I submit along with my tax returns to IRS?
I am totally confused and want to avoid anything that is against USCIS or IRS.
Please help.
Thanks
