Hi,

I am an Australian working and living in Manhattan on an E-3 visa.

I believe I'm entitled to some tax exemptions however I am not sure what I am exempt from. Does anyone know? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

An E-3 visa is a work visa.

Need to know WHEN you arrived in country and how long you will be staying to give you guidance.

Hi AtlantaTaxExpert,

I have been in the US since the 2nd of October but I was only on a B2 visa. I have only recently obtained the visa (10th of January)... began working on the 16th of January 2007 and I plan to stay the whole 2 years afforded by the visa.

Does this help?

Thank you in advance!

B2 is a visitor's visa, so I assume you did not earn money in 2006.

Since the E-3 is a work visa, you will be taxed as a dual-status alien the first year and as a resident alien the second year.
