Okay, I am a non resident alien. I worked in Walt Disney World Orlando, Florida for about 6 months as part of the college program. So I have $380 tax withheld.
- I came for Disney college program for my college back in my home country. I came and work for 6 months before returning back home to continue my studies in the college.
- I was in the US for a total of about 190days.
- I never had a job before this Disney job back in my home country nor in the US
- I never had to pay tax in my home country for this Disney job
- I never had to pay tax in my home country cause I'm a student, never had a job
- Throughout this I was on a J-1 Visa.
- Total amount earned $6000+
- Total tax withheld $380+

I was told I could have this $380 back in full refund. There is no tax treaty between my country and US.
Some of my friends have gotten the full refund some only had a partial refund.

So does anybody know how do I get the full refund? Cause I am really confused.
Thank you all very much in advance for the help, if you need more information feel free to ask
Thanks!

Please help me if any of you have any suggestions or ways to solve this. I am a student and I have financial difficulties so this refund is important to me. And also I really cannot afford any professional to help me prepare the refund so I just have to do it myself.

I have done lots of research on this matter but nothing seems to be helping. I would be really grateful to anyone who can help me be it just a little. Thank you all in advance!

If you were in US under the Work & Travel Program, then you must file form 1040NR-EZ.

Sorry for this late reply... just happen to see your question.
