Hi,
I would like to get my taxes back.I live in uk and I 've been to usa in 2008 on J1 visa as an Intern in a hotel on Florida.I was supposed to be there for 18 months but I left after 3 months.
I was looking on the internet for the best option.I got across taxback.com but they are charging too much I think.My refund is going to be 484$ and they want 120$ at least.Plus they keep calling every day it just seems a bit too much in the face,typicall company to rip you off...
Anyway I found website j1taxes.com -the fee all included shoud be 80$ for foreign bank account wire transfer.But there is no address where they are located so can I check somewhere if they are officially registred?Anybody has experience with them?Can I trust them that it is a real company?
Or any other suggestions how to get my taxes back?

Thank you for any answers.

And I have one more question... Do I have to use one of these companies offering tax return services or can I do it in my own for absolutely free?I know I need 1040NR for non residents... the form is easy to get on the internet.Can I just fill it up and send it to IRS on Florida with my W2 form?
Or it doesn't work like that?
Thanks
