L-1 visa holder tax return
Hi experts,
I am a L-1 visa holder who entered the US on May 2009. I am going to leave the country at the end of Dec 2009 as my post was made redundant. My questions are:
- What was my status for the last months for tax purpose? Is it non-resident alien?
- Which forms should I fill in order to claim tax return?
- Can I put myself as one exemption for taxation? I am single and only have one job.
- Once I leave the country, the tax return will be sent to me as a cheque or can it be deposited to my US bank account if I still maintain one? Is it possible to receive the cheque overseas?
Thank you very much.
