US Taxation FAQs - Part I

• When can I get my Tax back?

If you were in the U.S. during 2005 or 2006, you can apply now for a tax refund. 2005 applications can be submitted immediately and whilst you’re with your tax accountant you can also apply for 2006 as soon as the tax year ends on December 31st. However, if you were in the U.S during 2003-2004, you can still claim a tax refund.

• How much Tax will I get back?

The amount of the refund will depend on your visa type, gross income, length of time in the US, the state that you worked in whilst in the U.S, how you prepare your tax return etc.
