I am working as a teacher in NYC on a J1. Under the tax treaty with the UK - I have 2 years tax free on the J1. After that I have to leave the country or pay back the 2 years worth of tax. If I change to an H1B can I avoid paying the tax back? Do I need to leave the USA and come back? How long for? Thank you for your help!:confused:

Look in forum "Tax", there were similar questions asked.. lots of them.

I'd like an answer to this exact question too - what is the answer?

Thanks!
