Help offered filing your J1 tax back form
It’s been a while since we have posted here, in fact it’s been a few years since we’ve used the J1 Taxback service ourselves. Previously we used to help people fill out the forms, but over the last 2 years the number of requests for this has dropped. So either the service is getting easier to do (which is what we hope), or we are not showing ourselves as approachable as possible.
If you need help filling our your J1 Taxback please don’t hesitate to contact us. Remember you can claim you Social Security and Medicare for up to 5 years. If you are a J-1 researcher, and on a longer stay than a typical college student who goes to the US for 4 months, you can claim exemption for up to 18 months.
Claiming J1 Tax Returns offline
In this day and age most people like to do things online, from buying flight tickets to shopping for gifts. It can save time and hassle. But we are also aware that there are people who don’t feel 100% safe with submitting their personal details online. The current submission of your taxback is over a secure encrypted connection (HTTPS), but we also offer a way for those of you who don’t feel this is secure enough for you. We have a .PDF file which you can download and post back to us.
