Hello,
I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate if you can advise and help me with filing of my taxes.
I am an international student with F1 visa and I have been working on my CPT from 13th June, 2011 and my contract got extended till 22nd December, 2011.
Regardless of my earning at my internship the big question is that I won $1000 * 5 that is total $5000 in lottery during last few months.
As a student they deducted $50 each from each of the $1000 checks. So will this $5000 income from lottery affect the tax benefits / refund that I am expected to get for the internship paychecks?
If not, is there a way I can show / claim with some proof, any expenditures, in which I had to spend all that lottery money I won?
I am worried that I won't get any refund for filing my taxes.
Please help / advise me what to do.
Thank you.
