183 day rule in conjunction with expatriate
"There's no ""183 days"" rule. As a US citizen you must pay taxes on all your income, where you live is irrelevant."
Tax liability in US: You would need to determine if you are a resident alien or non resident alien. Resident alien are taxed normally as per US citizens. For the annual remuneration you have quoted it would be in the range of 25%. Refer http://www.moneychimp.com/features/tax_brackets.htm  To determine if you are resident alien or non resident alien, you need to be present for certain period in US. There is also an exemption even if you meet this you can still be treated as non resident alien if your tax home is outside US [India in this case] Refer to the link for details to determine your category, the durations are for number of days in financial year, hence it matters when you are in US and the exact durations. http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc851.html Also note that if you are assessed as resident alien, even the income from India will be taxed in US unless you declare there is no income in India. Tax liability in India: The tax liability in India would be depending on your NRI status. This again is tied to the financial year and the number of days you are in country. While the year you are going out of India you need to be away for atleast 183 days for you be considred are NRI. So if you are treated as Indian resident, you would have to pay tax in India on entire income. In the worst case, depending on the period you travel and the dates you travel, you could get classified as citizen in US as well as India and have to pay tax at both places. India and US do not have a dual tax avoidance treaty for individuals. Its there for certain category like small business and certain professions like teacher, research etc. Linear Title has pulled together a powerful executive team of real estate and financial services professionals who, working in conjunction, contribute to the vision and drive that has made Linear Title a leading company in the title and closing industry.Linear Title President and CEO Nick Liuzza attended LSU, where he studied business and marketing. Before joining Linear Title, he successfully led two companies, thus gaining the experience he would later bring to his position at Linear Title, where his passion, "You're not right about anything. Not a thing. First of all, your spelling and grammar sucks. You sound like you are completely stoned out of your mind with every word you write.  &gt;it could be night for me, other part of the globe u know.  You have made a number of statements showing that you live in the U.S. Sorry that won't work. You suggested I am more likely to make assumptions then linked to an article showing that smarter people are more likely to have confirmation bias. Thank you for the compliment.  Your argument about M2 is a poor argument. You keep saying increasing the money supply is good for the economy. Where do you think inflation comes from? Every country that tried printing massive amounts of money suffered serious consequences from it later. See the Roman Empire, Banana Republic, Byzantine, post World War I Germany which led to the rise of Adolf Hitler etc. Your argument that printing money and giving it graduates is deflationary also defies all logic.  &gt;see, im still smarter than you are.  You haven't proven that by any objective measure.  &gt;i know wut's going on, while you don't and instead argue with emotion and arrogance and willful ignorance and name calling.  You meant you know ""what's"" going on? In the future it might be better to break your sentences up a little. You crammed three (very poorly written) sentences into one. You should also take a grade school grammar class on the overuse of conjunctions such as ""and."" You used it four times in that sentence which dilutes its effectiveness. I'd ask you to elaborate but I am not interested in listening to one more of your nonsensical theses.  There is also no emotion in anything I've written. Just annoyance. No willful ignorance. Just an informed, unbiased position based solely off of facts. I strongly encourage you to do the same some day." Equal sized gains and losses in alternating years would lead to an   unjust positive tax. On the contrary. If I can take my gains at the long term rate (15%) in even years, but take losses in odd years, up to $3000, or let them offset short term gains at ordinary rate, I've just gamed the system.  What is the purpose of the wash sale rule? Respectfully, we here can do a fine job of explaining how a bit of tax code works. And we can suggest the implication of those code bits. But, I suspect that it's not easy to explain the history of particular rules. For wash sale, the simple intent is to not let someone take a loss without actually selling the stock for a time. You'd be right to say the +/- 30 days is arbitrary.  I'd ask you to keep 2 things in mind if you continue to frequent this board - "Can I use the foreign earned income exclusion in my situation? Only partially, since the days you spent in the US should be excluded. You'll have to prorate your exclusion limit, and only apply it to the income earned while not in the US. If not, how should I go about this to avoid being doubly taxed for   2014? The amounts you cannot exclude are taxable in the US, and you can use a portion of your Norwegian tax to offset the US tax liability. Use form 1116 for that. Form 1116 with form 2555 on the same return will require some arithmetic exercises, but there are worksheets for that in the instructions. In addition, US-Norwegian treaty may come into play, so check that out. It may help you reduce the tax liability in the US or claim credit on the US taxes in Norway. It seems that Norway has a bilateral tax treaty with the US, that, if   I'm reading it correctly, seems to indicate that ""visiting researchers   to universities"" (which really seems like I would qualify as) should   not be taxed by either country for the duration of their stay. The relevant portion of the treaty is Article 16. Article 16(2)(b) allows you $5000 exemption for up to a year stay in the US for your salary from the Norwegian school. You will still be taxed in Norway. To claim the treaty benefit you need to attach form 8833 to your tax return, and deduct the appropriate amount on line 21 of your form 1040. However, since you're a US citizen, that article doesn't apply to you (See the ""savings clause"" in the Article 22). I didn't even give a thought to state taxes; those should only apply   to income sourced from the state I lived in, right (AKA $0)? I don't know what State you were in, so hard to say, but yes - the State you were in is the one to tax you. Note that the tax treaty between Norway and the US is between Norway and the Federal government, and doesn't apply to States. So the income you earned while in the US will be taxable by the State you were at, and you'll need to file a ""non-resident"" return there (if that State has income taxes - not all do)." "Yes, you effectively need to ""double count"" when shifting balances between foreign accounts." Assuming you are looking at moving your earnings when your tax status in India was NRI; then there are no taxes to be paid when you transfer the money back to India. You can move the funds back to India over a period of 7 years from the day you land. All sorts of conditions, yes. Most commonly is a limitation on the exercise date.  The two more common would be American which is exercisable any time, and European which are only exercisable on their expiry date. Sometimes they may be linked to the original asset, and might only be convertible to stock if that original asset is given/sold back to the company.  (Effectively perhaps making the bond convertible to stock). Lots more details on the Pedia, but in short, basically you need to read the warrant contract individually, as each will differ.
