USA Tax Refund

Dendax offer professional tax refund services from USA, for everyone worked abroad. We refund Federal tax and State tax from all the states in USA. Refundable is also Local tax for several states.

The personal tax structure in USA consists of several types of taxes:

• Federal Tax
• State Tax
• Local Tax
• Social Security and Medicare Taxes

The major tax is the Federal. It is levied on all income earned by any individual working in the USA. The federal tax rate depends on the earned wage and can reach up to 25%. Participants in the J-1 work and travel programs are usually paying 10-15% Federal Income Tax.

The State Tax is imposed in addition to the Federal tax. It is levied on all income earned by any individual working in the USA except in the following states: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. The rate of the state tax depends on the given state and can reach up to 15%. Some states also apply a different system of tax allowances and therefore it can happen that a different portion of the federal and state tax can be refunded.

Local Tax charged on personal income is used in some states. This tax usually does not exceed 3% of the income. In the majority of cases, this tax will not be levied on your income. The process of refunding local taxes is complicated and in some cases not possible at all. Dendax offer Local Tax Refund only from New York.

Social Security and Medicare Taxes can be deducted from your wage in some cases. Please have in mind that all people working with J1 visa are NOT a subject of paying Social Security and Medicare Taxes, except such students, who work in USA more than 183 days. These taxes need to be deducted from all US residents, as well as from all H2B visa participants and individuals treated like residents.

If your employer deducts these taxes from your wage, ask your employer to correct this mistake. The process of refunding Medicare and Social Security tax is longer and generally more problematic. You need to have your DS-2019 form, the exact name, address and phone number of your employer and if possible also the W-2 form from your employer.

The W-2 form is the form, that each employer should give to his employees in the end of the year. The form reports the employee annual wages and the taxes withheld from each paycheck.The US employers must send the Form W-2 to employees before January 31 of each calendar year. The Form W-2 is not based on the fiscal year, but reports income on a calendar year (January 1 till December 31).

Social Security Number (SSN) is a nine-digit number issued to US citizens, permanent residents, or temporary workers. Its primary purpose is to track individuals for taxation issues. The Social Security Number proves that the employee is working legally. Be careful and keep safe your Social Security Card.

Even if you do not have all the above mentioned documents, you can still apply for your tax refund. The only thing we will need will be a correct Social Security Number. Dendax tax specialists will contact your former employers and will claim copy of your payments documents as your certified tax agent. Do not hesitate to contact our team for information.
