    Tax exempt?
    Following some basic information:
    Income:36.500,00USD
    Fed. Tax: 4900,00USD
    State Tax: 1890,00USD
    Trainee at a private company.
    German citizen.

    Do I have to pay Fed. Taxes? The German American Chamber of Commerce California told me that I get the entire amount back..?
    Can somebody confirm that or give me different advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    If you are under a J-1 visa, you are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes.

    However, as a trainee, you ARE liable for state and federal INCOME taxes.
