You will need to amend the returns; you may or may not owe money, depending on your home country and your personal situation.
Email the details at the email address in my profile (if you cannot see it below) and I will evaluate your case in more detail.

I don't have any other type of income. Only W-2 income as I mentioned.

You will receive a small refund of $244, because Indian studenta are allowed to claim the standard deduction.

Hi,
I worked under CPT from 1/1/12 to 8/15/12. I married a US citizen and got my employment authorization on 11/13/12 (K-3 visa). I became a permanent resident (green card) in Jan, 2013. So, I was a NRA all through 2012.
I am married, but filed separately this time. I filed 1040 NR-EZ, 8843, 843 and 8316. I claimed exemption for Medicare and SS taxes till 8/15/12 (while I worked under CPT).
I am from India and I deducted $5950 on line 11 under the US-India tax treaty article 21 (2). Also the exemption for 1 person -$3800 on line 13. Am I on the right track? Please advice. Thank you!

You got it right for the federal return.
I cannot say for the state return because you did not identify the state.

The Georgia calculations are different than the federal, with a $3,000 standard deduction and a $2,700 personal exemption (children's exemptions are $3,000).

Hi,
I am an international student and I started working on CPT [ curriculum practice training] from December 2011 to February 2013. Currently I am not working. I have so much confusion about filing my taxes and refunds. My tax person told me that since my income exceeded beyond 60,000 , I am not eligible to get the refund back.
My employer was deducting below from my pay check.
Federal Withholding -
CA - Withholding -
CA - Disability Employee
The total deduction of all 3 taxes is now above 20,000.
My salary was $4500/month and after tax deduction I was getting $3700.
Can you please tell me how much refund I will get back?
I am very much concerned about my refund as 20,000 is a huge amount .
Here are my details:
Visa: F1
State: California
Thank You

Based on the monthly $4,500 salary ($54,000 anually), your federal tax liability is about $7,200 and your California tax liability is about $2,220.
If more than that was withheld for federal and state withholding, you are due refunds.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
I forget to mention one more thing.
Since I am single , does it make a difference related to my tax refund?
Also, if I am due refund, then how much I will get ?
Thanks

The tax calculations assumed you were single.
The amount of the refund depends on how the withholdings are distributed between state and federal taxes.

Going to highjack for a moment - "Atlantataxexpert," why were such high taxes taken out? $20,000 when she owes about $11,000?
Any thoughts?

Judy,
You ARE correct; $20K IS a large withholding amount.
If the OP claimed ZERO allowances with SINGLE status on both the W-4 and the California equivalent form, I suppose the withholding could approach $20,000, but that IS unusual.
