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!
