    Are there any tax on non resident?
    Hi,

    I am an IT consultant from India currently on L1 visa and I came to US in 20th Aug, 2010. I also came to US in 2008 for 90 days (Business Visa/No Tax/Paid By India).Adding all this I still don't complete 183 days in US and hence fall in non resident category.
    At present I am earning around 60K and I have following tax deductions on my salary:
    I) Federal Tax
    ii) SSN Tax
    iii) Medicare Tax
    iv) State Unemployment Tax
    v) New Jersey State Tax
    vi) NJ Leave Insurance
    vii) Disability Tax NJ

    If I file for Non Resident Tax return, what all taxes I will be reimbursed?

    The FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes are NOT refundable due to your L-1 visa status. Same applies to all of the state taxes except the income tax.

    You MAY be eligible for a state and federal tax refund of PART of your federal and state income taxes; exaclt HOW MUCH depends on how much you earned, whether you are single, married and/or if you have children with you in the U.S. and how much you had withheld from your salary.
