    Income tax for cpt holder
    Hi

    I am currently on F1 Visa and am taking CPT from next week. I am offered a job with 59,987 $ per year. I am on F1 for 1yr 9 months. I am based in Michigan and the job offer is also in Michigan. Can you let me know how much the total taxes (both federal and state taxes) will come out to.

    Thank you

    Are you married?

    What is your home country?

    WHEN did you first arrive on the F-1 visa?

    Under the Trinidad treaty, you cannot your dependents, and you get ONLY a $2,000 treaty exemption.

    You will be in the 25% tax bracket for the IRS. To know exactkly what your tax liability will be, I need to know what you will get paid from now to 31 December 2012.

    Your federal tax liability will be about $1,090.

    Your Michigan tax liability will be about $418.
