Taxed in NY."

Question #2: You are a resident alien of the US for tax
purposes. As such, you are taxed on your worldwide income.
You would convert Indian Rupees to US Dollars using any
reasonable method of foreign exchange that does not distort
your income. If you had to pay tax to India on that income,
see the instructions in the tax booklet for the foreign tax
credit.

I am a non-resident alien working in the US on a L-1 Visa. I
have following questions regarding filling my returns and
was wondering if someone from the group could help.

1. My employer is based in New York state and so is my job
position but I moved to Richmond, VA before Jan-01-2003 for
personal reasons. As my job is still in New York (even
though I work from here) my employer & ADP continued to
deduct NY states taxes from my pay check but my W2 has a
Richmond,VA address on it.

So my question is for which state should I be filling the
return. New York or Virginia. If I need to file for both
then will I get my money back from New York in order to pay
Virginia Taxes? Also when I go to file New York state return
it asks for a New York address how can that be handled.

2. My second question is that I have some other sources of
income in my home country. As per my tax advisor there based
on the treaty between India and US the income earned in
India should also be offered for taxation (federal only) in
US. How can I do that? What proofs do I need for that income
and what forms do I need to fill.

Thanx a lot for the help in advance.

Regards,
Ritin
