Hi,
I am from India and just graduated from college and am on F1 with an OPT now. I work for a company in California paying me 55k annually and I am likely to make another 8k-10k on overtime. I know that I do not need to pay medicare and social security while on F1. What are the other deductions that I can claim. I tried finding information on IRS.gov but there is too much to go through and very confusing. I wonder if anyone has the information handy and could help me out.
Thanks :)
Manas.
