    2)I am Single with no dependent, Never been to USA before.
    3)My Gross Pay (combined for Nov & Dec 2007) here was $8547 (including some settling allowances)
    4)My employer has withheld taxes for Nov and Dec as follows (Social Sec=$522, Federal=$1291, NJ State=$226, Medical=$122,SUI/SDI=$80)

    Your refund for the IRS is $808.

    You must file Form 1040NR-EZ and claim your personal exemption of $3,400 plus the itemized deductions of your NJ state tax and SUI/SDI withheld of $306.

    You also need to file the NJ return as a part-year resident.
