Hi

I have graduated this May and started working with Optional Practical Training status from June. Can somebody please tell me what will be the tax I should be paying if my income for this year will be :

8800 as a part-time student worker on F1 status.
33000 as a full time worker on OPT status.

What will be my Fed tax percentage and state tax percentage?
Also what tax forms should I fill next year when filing taxes apart from 1040NR?

Thanks a lot
Arkay

Arkay:

To answer accurately, I need to know:

- Your marital status.
- Your home country.
- When you FIRST arrived in the U.S.
- Whether you will remain in the U.S. beyond your OPT on a H-1 or H-1B visa.

Arizona's marginal tax rate for a $42K salary is 3.36%.

The federal marginal tax rate is 15%.

Thanks for the reply.

-I am single
-Home country is India
-I came in July 2007
-I will remain in US beyond OPT

Thank you.

You must file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ with Form 8843. On your income, you do not pay Social Security and Medicare taxes. You will pay federal income tax and state income tax. Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Filing Requirements for Non-Residents

Everything MukatA says is accurate.

The tax rates I provided earlier remain the same.
