Hi,
This is my 6th year in US on F1 visa and i received a competitve fellowship for 10 months (jan to Oct 07) for 45k paid by my univ in texas for conducting my research at a federal office in Georgia (atlanta). Univ has refused to provide any tax docs as they are routing the money from the granting agency. I received pay checks from univ of texas but i rented out apt in georgia to conduct my research since jan 07. As of Nov 1 07 i am taking up a job in Georgia and i will receive W2 for Nov 07 and Dec 07.
Now given that situation what are my options?
Do i need to pay georgia tax for all 12 months?
Am i FICA excempt or Will i need to pay SS and Medicare for all 12 months or just nov & dec?
How should i present my case to pay the tax? what category should i present the income as? paystub identifies it as stipend.
