Hi,

I have heard lot of good reviews for this site. I came to US on 25th Aug 06. I also got my W2 last week for 2006. What component would I get back of the tax I have already paid.

Is there any provision to get back all the tax paid since I have stayed less than 5 months in US in year 2006.

Need to know:

- Visa status.
- Projected length of stay.
- Income level for 2006.

Thanks,

Visa status: L1A
Income in 2006: 21361USD
Stay in US: from 25th Aug-2006 in Indiana State
Will stay till: Apr-2007

If you are single, you file a non-resident alien return for 2006 AND 2007.

Thanks for your kind support.

I am married and have one kid. So what type of return should I file.

Still have to file as a non-resident alien.

Your combined stay in the U.S. for 2006 and 2007 is NOT long enough to qualify you for either filing jointly as resident aliens nor filing as dual-status.
