    Tax J1
    I have a question for the Atlanta Tax Expert.
    I arrived in the states in August 5th 2009 with a J1 visa. I just received a form that I will be Tax Exempt until August 4th 2011. But according to what I've read in your previous answers, I might be eligible to be tax exempt until the 3rd anniversary of my arrival in the US (which would be August 2012). My current VISA expires May 2012.
    Can you please comment on this?
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Agreed; we need to know what your home country is to determine WHICH tax treaty applies.

    Dear,

    I have a tax related question and I was hoping you could help me with this.

    I am a Belgian citizen doing a post doc in NYC with a J1 visa. I have a husband who came here as a J2 dependent.

    Currently we are tax exempt for a period of 2 years since the day of arrival in the US. (August 5th 2009).

    From August 2011 we will have to start paying taxes and my status will change form a non-resident alien to a resident alien status.
    Now here's my question:
    Have you got any idea how much the taxes will be, considering the fact that I am pregnant now and in August I will have two dependents (my baby and my spouse).
    Please let me know,
    Thanks a lot,
    Charlotte

    The answer to this question requires some detailed treaty research, and, to be quite frank, I simply do not have the time to perform such research without compensation.

    Please email me at [email protected] for a research fee quote, and, after payment, I will be happy to do the required research and answer your question.
