    H1B holder tax
    Hello,

    I am a newcomer in US, I need some help about my tax! Any help appericated!


    I am P.R.China citizen. Move from Canada on June 6th 2007(more than 183days in this year). Start work as a Post-doc researcher at research department of non-profit hospital.
    I hole H1B visa, single, non-dependent. I already pay all the tax include federal and medicare and social as well.

    My question is what kinds of form I need to fill to get any refund 1040 or 1040NR?

    Do I need the T4 form (my income from Canada)?

    As P.R. China citizen and first year worker in US, some one told me I should have the $5000 dollors deductive income.

    I will leave US next months, I need to get this thing done as soon as possible. Does any one know which company can help with my situation?

    You need to file as a dual-status alien.

    Because you came from Canada, the Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty applies, so the $5,000 treaty exemption under the China treaty is not applicable in your case.

    If you need professional help, email me at the email address below.
