New Website Helps Non-Resident Alien Workers Secure Tax Refunds

Strategic Insights -

A new website, [www.withholding-tax-refund.com](http://www.withholding-tax-refund.com), aims to help non-resident alien workers in the US obtain tax refunds to which they are entitled. Under the J-1 visa program, taxes are withheld by the IRS, but workers often fail to claim their refunds due to complexity and difficulty in collecting them. The website, launched by US-certified CPAs, simplifies the filing process and provides a refund through a visa card or foreign bank deposit for a flat rate of $100.

Key Takeaways:

  • Non-resident alien workers under the J-1 visa program are often entitled to tax refunds ranging from $200 to $500 per year, but fail to claim them due to complexity and difficulty in collection.
  • The new website, 1040NR Tax Returns, eliminates the complexity of the US tax system by providing a straightforward explanation of how the system works, including IRS forms 1040, 1040NR, and 1040NR-EZ.
  • The website charges a flat rate of $100 for preparation and submission of the return, as well as provision of an advance refund through a visa card or foreign bank deposit.
  • Co-founder Edward Parsons notes that many workers have not received all that they are due, or have received no refund at all, due to lack of understanding of the tax system or having left the country.
  • The majority of J-1 visa workers are entitled to refunds between $600 and $800, making the $100 service charge a "bargain".
  • The website provides a risk-free service, meaning that if no tax refund is received, no fee is charged.
