Hi,
I am a F1 Student living in cincinnati, OH since August 2006. I had worked on campus during 2006 and have received W2. I have the following questions:

1) There are no state taxes deducted. Do I need to pay any?
2) Socialsecurity Tax/Medicare have been deducted. I don't think I am liable to pay them.
3) What is the tax slab or exemption in dollars in Ohio?

Following are the details of my earnings and taxes:
Gross pay = $297.98
Local income Tax = $3.11
federal income tax withheld - $0
SSn wages = 147.98

I will appreciate if my questions are answered so that I can have it fixed for the year 2007 in advance.
Country of origin and citizenship = INDIA

Thanks in advance,
Harish

Harish:

The pay is so low that no state income taxes are due.

You do NOT have to file a federal income tax return because no federal income taxes were withheld. The same logic probably applies for Ohion state and local income taxes.
