At what rate should my income be taxed?

In most cases, taxes are automatically withheld from your pay. Such tax withholding may include Federal, State and Social Security/Medicare taxes that can range from 14-30% of your total income. The amount of tax withheld depends on the type of income you receive and your tax status in the United States. Most incoming F and J visa holders are considered non-residents (students for the first five years in the United States and J-1 scholars for the first two years). But there are of course other visa types, and exceptions, so it’s important that the Nonresident Alien Tax Office classifies you for tax purposes as soon as possible.
