Anyone working in the US is obligated to pay US income tax. As a foreign student working in the U.S., you will also be required to pay certain taxes but will be exempt from other taxes. You are exempt from Social Security Tax, Medicare and Federal Unemployment Tax. You are not exempt from Federal Income Tax, State Income Tax & City Income Tax. The US tax year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 in regards to income earned through work or training. All participants are required to file a U.S Federal tax return, called the 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. These forms and instructions can be obtained from www.irs.gov and they are usually available at the beginning of each year. You must file your tax return by April 15 each year from the previous tax year. For example, if you work during the calendar year of 2006, you must file your tax return by April 15, 2007.
