Hi,

My company is planning for L1 visa inter company tranfer.

I wanted to know how much tax I will need to pay and how to calculate it

I will travel with my wife not working to Polo alto CA.

Assuming you are speaking of 2013, you will pay federal and California state income taxes; the rate depends on your income level.

You will also pay FICA (Social Security @ 6.2% and Medicare @ 1.45%) taxes, plus the California disability withholding of about $350.

Oh yah.. . Income is around 65K told to me.

Using 2012 tax software, your federal tax liability is about $5,959, while California will probably be $1,258.

Social Security and Medicare are flat percentages withheld friom every paycheck. For $65,000, that would be $4,030 and for Medicare that would be $943.
