Yep,

I'm hoping to get all of the money I paid in income taxes returned to me a.s.a.p.

Thanks to anyone that can help out!

Where are you from? If you're from Canada you have to file your tax return for 2005 just like a regular person, except you have to send it to the International Tax Services office in Ottawa. Unfortunately they're quite a bit slower. It took at least six months for an assessment, so I assume that's how long a refund would take.

For me, they made some major adjustments because I arrived in Korea 15 days before the end of 2004. So even though I had a $300 refund on my tax return for 2004, when they assessed me they had tweaked the numbers to where I actually had to pay $300.

If you put down your Korea address on your tax return they will send your info there. To get the tax forms, I just got someone in Canada to go to the post office to get them and mail them to me.
