Taxes in USA
Everyone working in the US has a number of taxes deducted from their earnings every time they get paid. While working in America you will have paid up to four different types of tax on your earnings:
• Federal Tax
• State Tax
• Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Tax
• Local Tax
Most people who work temporarily in the United States, for example on a J1 Visa, end up overpaying these taxes because they have more than one job or they only work for a few months in America.
The good news is you can get a refund of this overpaid tax. However, US tax returns can be very complicated.
What to look for in tax refund companies
Please be aware of companies that promise to speed up your tax
refund by electronically filing (e-filing) your US tax return. Using
e-filing is illegal for any US non-residents including J1 Visa students
and you could face difficulties with future visa applications to the US
if your tax return is not filed correctly.
When choosing a tax return company, we recommend that you select companies which:
• Have a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the United States
• Can guarantee that your tax refund will be 100% legal and safe
• Can ensure your US tax return will be 100% compliant with US tax law.
• Provide a US tax return service in your language (E.g. Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, …)
