US Tax Reporting · ICAI Registered Firm

US Tax Implications & Reporting two countries, one coordinated tax return.

US tax advisory and reporting for green card holders, US citizens, and NRIs with US ties — FBAR, FATCA, Form 8938, PFIC analysis, and Indian return coordination with US tax preparers.

The United States taxes its citizens and green card holders on global income, irrespective of where they live. For Indians with US connections — green card, work in the US, US-listed shares, US bank accounts, or US-resident family — this creates an unusually heavy reporting load that goes well beyond the IRS Form 1040.

FBAR filing for foreign bank accounts, Form 8938 for foreign financial assets, PFIC reporting for Indian mutual funds, and disclosure of Indian retirement accounts can each carry steep penalties for non-compliance. India-side, the same individual may need to file an ITR with Schedule FA, Form 67 for foreign tax credit, and DTAA elections.

We coordinate the India side of the US-India tax cycle — Indian ITR, Schedule FA, FTC under the DTAA, and information packs ready for US tax preparers. For green card holders returning to India and US citizens settling here, we help build a multi-year tax position that holds up on both sides.
