Hello, does anybody know how to apply for federal income tax refund?

Question

I have worked and paid federal income tax as a J-1 Visa holder in Alaska and I would like to get my tax refund using some of the forms from IRS. Thanks

Answer 1

go to www.irs.gov and look it up.

Answer 2

Go to www.irs.gov and download the forms you need. If you are a nonresident alien, it is Form 1040NR. Otherwise it is Form 1040. If you don't know how to prepare the tax return go to any CPA, Enrolled agent or unlicensed tax preparer and most of them would be able to do it for a fee.

Don't let them talk you into a Refund Anticipation Loan. It only speeds up you refund a week or two and costs a lot extra.
There is no guarantee you will get a refund. You may owe some more tax.

Answer 3

Was this a summer job? Or were you in school in the US as well?

If you have been a J-1 for 2 years or less, you are most likely a non-resident alien and would file a form 1040NR-EZ. You will get to claim a deduction for state taxes paid and $3400 for a personal exemption. The rest of your income would be taxed starting at 10%.

You do not provide enough information to determine if any tax treaty would apply.
