Students Benefits
....it's
so easy
As an international student, filing taxes is probably
not the easiest thing you had to deal with during your studies in
United States. Our tax return system is easy to use
and will help you file your taxes in about 10-15
minutes.
Can
I get a refund?
A large number of international students
file their taxes without taking advantage of the tax
treaties between their native countries and United
States, or other tax benefits available. Moreover,
most employers (including schools) deduct taxes from
your paychecks without taking these treaties in consideration,
for they differ from country to country and are difficult
to estimate. It is our mission to ensure that you
will get the maximum returns and help you file your
taxes fast and accurate.
How
much money can I get? Let's
look at an example*:
An
international student from China has earned
$12,500 in wages, and has a non-service
scholarship of 4,500.00 during 2007. Her
employer has deducted $2800.00 from her
paychecks for federal income taxes (Form W-2),
and her school has deducted $1,500.00 from her
non service scholarship income (Form 10402-S).
She has paid a total of $5,300.00 in federal
income tax during the year 2007.
By
claiming the tax treaty benefits between
United States and China, the student was able
to get a $1700.00 refund for federal taxes on
income from wages the and the entire amount
paid for federal taxes on non service
scholarship - $1500.00 for a total of $3.200.00.
