Steps to take for J1 interns

Hello,

 

I am a French J1 student and I have just started an internship for a company in New York. I am trying to find out what are the steps my company needs to take when they add me to payroll (withhold money for taxes, ...) and what document they need to fill.

Thank you.

I cannot answer your question, but I would like to caution you that you will NOT be able to use TurboTax to file your2019 income tax return.  You will need to use a different software provided by sprintax when it is time to file your 2019 tax return.

 

 

NON RESIDENT ALIEN 

If you are a non-resident alien, your return must be filed on Form 1040NR, which cannot be prepared using TurboTax.  You can use TT’s partner, sprintax:
