As a current F1 student, would I need to pay taxes on ESPP stocks that I bought before I came over to pursue higher education?
I am foreign graduate student in USA. My previous employer had ESPP programs, and I bought some stocks under those programs when I was in my home country, India. The investments were made when I was NOT a F1 student. I haven't sold those stocks yet.

Would I end up having to pay the 30% tax that all F1 students need to pay on all dividends? I bought the stocks at a discount (as is common with all ESPP programs). If I am to pay the taxes, how would the calculations work?
