Have you worked in the USA? Claim your tax back!

Many people get swept away living the “American dream”, but it’s important to remember that you have tax obligations. If you’re working in the US, you will pay tax on your earnings. The good news is that in most cases Taxback.com will be able to apply for a tax refund for you to get some of this back.

What taxes do you pay in the United States?

Federal Tax 
Everyone working in the US pays federal income tax on their earnings, which is usually about 10% of the income received.
State Tax
The rate of state tax you pay depends on which state you work in, but generally it ranges between 1 - 13%. Each state has its own income tax system which can be quite different from the federal system.
FICA tax (Social security and Medicare contributions)
If you are on an F-1 or J-1 student visa, you are typically exempt from paying FICA taxes and they should not be deducted from your income. If they are, you are entitled to claim them back.
