Hello,
I am currently working in the U.S. with a J1 Trainee visa, and I am paid by a foreign company on a foreign bank account.
This is my third J1 visa:
- 2016 - from June 19th to August 11th - J1 Summer work and travel visa. I was working for a U.S. company and paid in the U.S. on a U.S. bank account. I did my tax return and get a tax credit. I do not remember exactly which form I completed.
- 2018-2019 - from Augst 18th, 2018 to May 27th, 2019, I was a student in the U.S., and I completed the form 8843.
Now, I am a J1 Trainee in the U.S., I arrived February 28th, 2022, and my visa is expiring on August 31st, 2023. I am completely lost about what I should do for my tax and which form(s) to complete as I am apparently considered as a U.S. Citizen for tax purposes, but I am not paid in the U.S.
Can someone help me?
