TAX REFUND USA


ABOUT US

MAG-TAX has been specializing in the support of refunding foreign taxes for over 20 years. During our many years of activity, we have gained vast experience that smaller, less well-established companies cannot offer. Over the years, we have encountered all possible difficulties and unusual questions from the authorities, so we know very well the realities of foreign tax matters.

We do our work with commitment and reliability, and with you as our priority. Our main goal is customer satisfaction. We always try to make the settlement as profitable as possible, and the process itself as simple as possible. We do not keep unnecessary documents - if we have complete information, we immediately send the tax return to the relevant foreign offices. We also inform the client about the estimated tax refund amount and the expected date of receipt of the decision. During the term of the contract, we additionally translate the correspondence and respond to all external office inquiries.

TAX REFUND FROM USA

Anyone who has legally worked in USA can apply for a  tax refund. Settlement is possible up to 3 years previously (currently for the years 2021-2023). USA tax refunds usually take from 3 to 6 months, and may be extended in exceptional cases.

W-2 OR 1042-S DOCUMENTS

The document necessary to submit an application for a tax refund from the USA is W-2 or 1042-S issued by the employer. If you do not have either of the above documents, you can settle your accounts on the basis of monthly PAYSLIPS. The documents above show information about your income (Wages, tips, other compensation) and advances collected for federal tax (Federal income tax withheld) and State income tax.

NOTE! Documents on the basis of which the tax refund should be made are W-2 or 1042-S (annual tax cards). Billing on the basis of these documents is more reliable than on the basis of payslips, because the information on the payslips does not always correspond to the data held at the office.

While working in the USA, the following taxes may be deducted:

  • Federal Tax (approx. 10% of income) - with income not exceeding USD 10,000, we apply for a 100% federal tax refund;
  • State Tax (approx. 1-10% of income) - this tax refund depends on the tax regulations of particular states;
  • Social Security Tax*
  • Medicare Tax*

*If you were a J1 student and Social Security and Medicare taxes were deducted from your payslips, we can contact your employer and instruct them how to proceed with refund of these taxes. As a J1 student you are not required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes.

State Tax is not collected/refunded in the following states:
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming
