First time doing tax! Help!
Hi,
This is my first time do the tax, so I have some questions needed to be answered. Below is my scenario:
I am from Taiwan, and I am under F-1 (OPT) from July 05 until now. My income last year is $13000.00, and I think I am exempt from Social security and Medicare tax.
I moved from Seattle to LA for the job, so I think I am qualifying for moving expense deduction too.
Below is the forms I think I should file:
1040NR
Form 3903 –moving expense
Form 843 – Claim for refund and request for abatement
Form 8843 – Claim for refund for social security and Medicare tax.
Are these ALL the forms I should file? Is there any other I should file too?
Also, how do I know if my country has a tax treaty with US? I am from Taiwan and I only see China on the list. Can anyone tell me whether IRS consider Taiwan as part of China?
Last question, can I be exempt from Federal and CA State income tax as well?
Thanks for the help!!
