| Tax REFUND from the US |
|
During your work in the USA, most likely you will pay taxes, depending on location and state where you worked. The good news is that around 90% of your taxes can be refunded
In the US, there are 5 types of taxes:
For sudents who went in the US through the Work and Travel program and worked on J1 visa, in most of the cases, you have paid only the first two taxes: Federal and State Taxes. As J1 student, you do not have to pay the rest of the taxes. In rare ocasions, students have paid local taxes where they worked. If for any reason you have paid other taxes, you must contact your employer directly for a refund as it is much easier than through the tax back service
It may take 2 to 4 months for the refund process to be completed. The process of tax refund starts on January of every year
