US Tax For NRIs

Non-resident Indians moving back to India need to understand their US tax obligations, including filing basic income tax returns and information returns, to avoid any potential issues with the US tax authorities, as people tend to worry too much about basic returns and too little about information returns, which is a backwards approach

Moving back to *India* can be a complex process, especially when it comes to *US tax* obligations. Non-resident Indians need to understand their requirements, including:
- Filing basic income tax returns
- Filing information returns, such as the Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR) and the Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets (Form 8938)
People tend to focus too much on basic returns and not enough on information returns, which can lead to issues with the *US tax* authorities.
It is essential to consult a tax professional to ensure compliance with all *US tax* obligations.
