How do taxes work in the USA?

Quienes Somos

All employees in the United States have taxes taken automatically from their paychecks. This tax is called withholding tax (it is withheld from your paycheck). Most employees have too much tax withheld and are entitled to an income tax refund. To get their taxback in the form of a tax refund they must file a form 1040, 1040NR, or 1040NR-EZ with the IRS. In about six weeks the tax refund is sent to the tax payer.

How do you know which form to use? That is our job. Simply fill out the online questionnaire and we will file the correct form and get you your tax refund. Most refunds for J-1 visa holders are from $600 to $800 US! You pay us a fee of $100 US and we will do all of the work to make you compliant with US tax laws and get you your money.

If your employer withheld taxes for Social security or Medicare, you are entitled to a refund there as well.
