    Tax Refund for J1
    Hi, I worked in the US with a J1 Visa for four months in 2007/2008.
    I just received my W-2 form but I'm not so sure what to do with it. I want to do it myself, but people keep telling me different things about what forms I need to fill out.

    Can somebody tell me what forms I have to fill and how do I get them?

    On J1 you are exempt from residency for 2-years. You must file non-resident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843.

    Your income is not subject to FICA taxes but you must pay federal and state income taxes.
