What is the name of your state? Idaho
Hi,
I was a student in the US (Idaho state) from 2004-2005 on a student visa. I am an Indian citizen and returned to India in 2006.
In January 2007, my cousin from India, sent me a gift of $21,000 to my paypal account.
I have a bank account in the United States (which I created when I was a student), to which I have withdrawn the money. I use this account very sparingly and this is probably the only big transaction I have made since I left the US.
I am currently residing in India. Will I be liable to pay US Income tax, since this money has gone to my bank account in the US? I hope to visit the US again in the future -- Will this affect my visa in any way?
Thanks in Advance!
Ray
