Hello

Well I hust want to know if I never started my job so I'm liable to pay taxes on h1b visa.and in fact my visa is in underprocess ?

And 2nd if my salary is 40.000 $ per year so how much I'm liable to pay taxes?

My designation is a accountant .


Thanks

If you do not start a job, then you do not have any income. So you do not pay any taxes.

Your income is subject to SS tax at 6.2%, Medicare at 1.45%, federal income tax and state income tax.

Thank you very much

And still my visa is in under process and I'm in my home country . So y should I pay tax ?

If you did not start the job and received NO income, then NO taxes are due.

Further, even if you received SOME income, if the amount is LESS than your personal exemption for 2009 ($3,600), no tax return is required because your personal exemption will offset the income to the point that no taxes are due.
