    Tax returns on L1B VISA
    Hi,

    I was working in US on L1B Visa from Sep 1,2007 to till date and I was paying every month $1200 for taxes. Will I get any refund if I am leaving to India as I'm not resident of US? Please help me out ASAP.


    Thanks
    Bhaskar.

    You will NOT get a refund for the FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes.

    You MAY get a partial refund for the federal and state income taxes withheld.

    Did you not file a 2007 tax return (probably Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ)?

    For 2008, you will need to file a dual-status return to claim any refund due from the IRS.

    For your state return (assuming you worked and lived in a state with an income tax), you will file as a part-year resident for both 2007 and 2008.

    Contact me at the email address below if you need professional help/advice.
