请教一个问题：
我之前一直是F1, redisent alien joint file 1040 with lg. 2008.6转为AOS，用EAD在学校做RA，但一直都是fulltime学生。刚发现我的工资单上从6月份开始扣SSN,但并没有扣 medicare。10月份后SSN和medicare却都不再扣了。请问我到底需要交这些不？是否还要补交？目前正在485pending，有点担心因为这个而影响到将来的绿卡被批。
谢谢了！
wait until you get your w-2. make sure you check your w-2 against your last pay stab. You report whatever is on the w-2.

家住一个州，工作在一个州，是否要填两份州税表？有什么要注意的地方吗？谢谢。
Yes, you need to file tax returns for 2 states. One for Resident, and the other one for non-resident. Make sure you check your w-2 for the work state. If you use software to do your tax returns, you only code the work income to work state, all other income (interest, div, and others) to the home state.

如果你用的是standard exemption，就是不行的
但是如果你是用的itemized exemption，就可以。。。不过一般情况下，因为我们花钱不多，用standard exemption相对来说划算并且简单很多。
Car loan interest is not deductable even you use itemized. However, some people take money out from their home equity line to buy a car, most of these people report all their interest expense on their tax return. Your mortgage interest total will be sent to IRS, but not your car loan interest. Once IRS could not match your # with #s sent by the banks, they will send you a letter.
If you have 1099-misc income, car loan interest can be deductable, and you report it on Schedule C.

请问：如果刚买房子，第一年利息不少，那是不是基本上说来用ITEMIZED EXEMPTION会更合算？ 非得两种都算一遍才知道吗，还是有什么大拇指法则吗？谢谢。
add your mortgage interest, your property tax (you may pay some on the closing, check your closing statement) and your state tax (on your w-2), and your contributions. If the sum is more than $10,900 (married filing jointly) or $5,450 for single, you should use itemized deduction. It would be better to do both, so you can compare.

联邦税不可以抵，州税可以的，用1040, schedule A。但是如果你没有房子贷款的利息和房地产税什么的，一般来说你的itemized的钱数不会大于standard，就不要折腾了。
not sure other states, but it is not deductible in CA.

W-2上没有扣州税，应该如何处理，有相同经历的同学吗？
1. some states do not need to pay state income tax.
2. sometimes if your pay check is small, they do not deducte any state tax, same as Federal tax. It also depends on # of exemptions you reported on your w-4. If you have zero, payroll will deducte more Federal & State income tax from your pay checks. On the other hand, if you have 5, they may not deducte any Fed & State income tax. Of course, you will need to pay if your Fed & State withholding is too little or you will get a refund if your withholding is big.

多谢了，大概算了一下大概要交900多。
Look at your pay check, see how many exemptions you have on your pay check. Normally, if you do not have mortgage, and no dependent, you should put Zero or one. You can change it by fill out a new W-4 form, but talk to your employer first.

900多全是州税呀
你要具体查你的州的规定
联邦的是1000以内没有罚金 不太清楚州一般怎么算 各个州应该不一样吧
mm以后一定要小心看自己的paycheck stab 如果有没扣的税 一定要早提出来
you do not need to pay penalty even you need to pay more than $1,000 to Federal if you already paid 110% of your total liability the year before.
- your total tax liability is $2,000 (line 46 on 1040) for 2007
- your total tax liability is 15,000 for 2008, and your Federal income tax withheld from forms W-2 & your 2008 estimate tax payment is $3,000. In this case, you owe $12,000. This is a lot more than $1,000, but you already paid more than 110% of your 2007 tax liablity, you won't need to pay any penalty.
