Income before entering US

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA

Hello members,

I will be entering US on L1 visa from UAE and I will receive regular salary in US

1. My UAE income, before entering US; will it be considered taxable in US?
2. If I transfer my UAE income (above 10,000 USD) via bank transfer, is this taxable?
3. I will be receiving rental income during 2015 form UAE (there are no tax there), do I have to declare it for US tax along with my salary?

Many thanks !

Unless you become a legal resident (green card holder) of the US, your foreign income is not taxable in the US.

Should I take any precaution while transferring my rental income from UAE to US?

I can give you an account number you can safely store the money in.

No, there is not enough money involved for special precautions to be needed.
