Worked in the US? Claim your tax back!
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.
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, …)
