I have a client who in addition to his US income lectured in india for 2mths. He grossed 5k and had tax withheld in India. What form(s) to I need to prepare along with this year tax - Federal +NY?

Thanks

you definitely should check the US-India tax treaty at the IRS website. Sometimes you can only claim the foreign tax credit when the tax(es) paid abroad are NOT recoverable. So, you have to see what the treaty says.

I suppose I should ask you to post your findings here so that you can educate us all -- well, at least so you can educate me.
