US Taxes

US Income Taxes

All people who earn income in the USA owe taxes accordingly. Some of the main factors that determine how much and what taxes you are obliged to pay are: the State in which you are working, the program you are participating in and your visa type. You can find more detailed information regarding the different taxes in America in the section US Tax Types .

While working in the States on a Career Training, Internship or Work and Travel program, you will have taxes deducted from your paychecks. Fortunately, the good news is that you can get all or most of your taxes back, by filing a return as soon as the tax year ends. We can help you obtain the highest legal refund that complies with the US tax law and regulations.

Tax Year

A Tax Year is the calendar year in which you have lived and worked in the US. Please, bear in mind that the tax year starts on January 1st and ends on December 31st.

According to the Internal Revenue Service the due date to file a tax return is April 15th. After this date penalties may acquire. Nevertheless, the return still can be submitted and IRS will honor and process it.

Tax Return

As a temporary worker in the US you are obliged by US law to file a return at the end of the tax year, especially if your total income exceeds 3650.00 USD.

Not filing one may prevent you from maintaining a good standing with the US tax administration. What is more, if you decide to apply for a green card, for example, you might be asked to provide copies of your tax returns for the last five years.

IRS processes returns for the current year and for the previous two years, as well.

It is important for you to know that filing your return electronically is illegal, due to the fact that this option is only valid for US residents. We strongly advise you to avoid all agencies that offer to obtain your rebate faster, by E- filing your tax return.
