    Rahul:

    If you are from India, you are getting a complete refund of your federal income taxes because the combination of your personal exemption ($3,650) and your standard deduction ($5,700) (which Indian students can claim under Article 21 of the U.S.-India Tax treaty) complete offsets the $4,800 IN INCOME.

    For Maryland, you have a requirement to file, but you will owe NO income tax.

    If you need professional tax help with this, email me at [email protected].
