To answer your question, we need this info:
Your citizenship? Your visa? Are you a trainee or student? (check your visa).
When did you enter the U.S.
Also give your income and break up of taxes withheld.

My Visa status is I am on J1 visa which is a trainee visa
And I entered us ain sep 2007 so I filled my tax of 2007 and I got back my full amount and this year they are roughly taking of 60 to 65 % of tax so wanted to know

Since I am on a J1 visa so we guys are exmpeted of Social Security nad Medicare Taxes

So I hope I have answerd all your question, do feel free to ask any question

Thanxs a million for your quick response

Due to the size of your income, you WILL pay some taxes.

On your federal tax return (Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ), you can claim the $5,450 standard deduction and the $3,500 personal exemption, so only $19,117 of your pay is taxable.

You did not identify your state, so I cannot do an state tax estimate.

For your federal return, and assuming you are signle, your federal tax liability is $2,468, so your refund is $1,008.

You are EXEMPT from FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes for 2007 and 2008. If you are still working in 2009, your employer should have started deducting FICA taxes starting on 1 January 2009.
