    I don't think so, and I rather hope not, if you were here for any period, you should be required to pay some taxes, just as I would expect if I was living in India..

    The tax treaty does not say that you will get whole tax money back. What tax money are you asking about?

    You will get standard deduction of $5,350 (as per tax treaty) and exemption of $3,400. Your taxable income is $10,250. Income tax is $1150. Your federal refund is $625.
