 |
|
I'm about to head to Korea in August. I still need to get my F-4 Visa and book my ticket.
However, my mother was trying to convince me to book a round-trip ticket, even though I have no idea when my return would be. She says that I am required to come back to America at least once a year in order to get some sort of stamp from US government. I can't find any information about this mystery stamp, so if you know anything about it, please feel me in.
Also, I was wondering what taxes I need to pay. She was saying I need to pay state tax, and maybe federal tax. Any information? |

I'm not familiar with the F4 or your requirements on that but maybe you have a US residency issue? In any case, you can always book a 1 way back later or rt if you want to go back to Korea.
You should file you federal taxes though you won't owe any money as you will be well below the $92K limit.
State taxes vary from state to state and you may be liable for your earnings in your particular state. The agreement between the US Government and S. Korea is strictly federal and doesn't preclude the states from determining their own taxation schemes.
You'll have time to look up the state info (or they'll come looking for you). |
