Hii... My name is sushank and I am from india . I went to syracuse university (new york ),US last summer on J1 Visa (Short term scholar) and stayed there for 10 weeks (72 days ),

. I received 5000$ out of that 700$ is deducted as taxes (federal). I have used some cintax software to know how much I will get refund and it has shown that 3500$ is exemption and for the remaining 1500$ I have to pay 150 dollars as tax. SO I will get 700-150= 550 as refund.. But I heard that I can get the whole tax refund. Is it so? Please help me...

I am presently studying masters in INDIA.

Dear sir, please help me with this what to filled in various blanks, I am very much in need as presently I am in INDIA and cannot contact anyone personally,

As you previously said that there will be no federal taxes for researchers from india, but all my taxes which are in withheld are federal, so can I get the whole taxes paid as refund ?
