Thats correct. Also, if you have income, the social security and medicare taxes will be deducted from your paycheck, since J-2 is not exempt from FICA in any circumstance, as well as Medicare.

谢谢!

入境不满183天,可以不交税.

我在图书馆,听一个志愿者说的,但问了一个朋友,说好象这种状况,还要老板不是美国人.我越来越糊涂.

离交表期限近了,我还有这么弱智的问题,想想都不好意思!

不过看到斑竹知识渊博,又有耐心,很感动的!非常感谢!

不用客气

The IRS has this Substantial Presence Test to determine US tax residency status. The test counts how many days you have been present in the United States. If you have been present in the United States for at least 183 days during a three-year period that includes the current year, you are no longer a nonresident alien for tax purposes. However, students present in the US under F, J, M and Q visa are exempt individuals (students are exempt for 5 calendar years, 2 years for non-students).

Even if you dont have file tax return, it's required that you must file Form 8843.

确定了-----------NR

1)是不是只有3200,

2)来美是的机票可以抵税吗?

3)还有别的抵税吗?

you welcome!

好像来美的机票不能deduct的吧。具体还有哪些可以抵税的可以看看税表的instruction，偶没怎么填过J的tax return

看来只有3200可以用了!

感谢ING!!

I do not think you need to pay any of the income tax if you are doing research or teaching in US. The tax treaty between US and China is quite generous to these types of jobs. You do need to pay medical tax and social security tax though.

Check http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-trty/china.pdf article 19

and publication 519 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p519.pdf page 49 about teachers, professors and researchers.
