US TAXES
Anyone who works in the US is required to pay US taxes. On a program, you will pay US tax and this will be automatically deducted from your paycheck.
As a student on a J1 visa in the USA, it is important to be aware that you will be required to file a tax return at the end of the tax year which runs from January 1st to December 31st.
Filing a tax return means providing information about your income, expenses, and other relevant financial details to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. tax authority.
At the end of the tax year, when you file your tax return, you will calculate your tax liability based on your income and deductions. If the taxes withheld from your paychecks throughout the Program are not sufficient to cover your total tax liability, you may be required to pay an additional amount to fulfill your tax obligations.
On the other hand, if too much tax was withheld, you may be eligible for a tax refund.
