x******p 发帖数: 827 | 1 I was a foreign F1 doctoral student from Jan to Apr in 2012 and made $9000
working as research assistant in school. However, from the W2 I received
from school, in the box 1, they put in $6500 (only half of $5000 was
deducted) instead of $4000. After graduation at end of Apr 2012, I worked
full-time from May to the remaining of 2012 in a company and made $40000 (
number on the 2nd W2 I got from the company). Now when I am filling the
State tax return for Massachusetts on Turbotax, it asks me "did you receive
wage or salary income that was exempt from tax under a US tax treaty while
you were a student", I selected YES, however, in the next step: "Enter the
total wage or salary income you received in 2012 while you were a student.
Enter only that portion that was exempt from tax under a US tax treaty", I
am confused what I should put there. Anyone could gimme some instructions? I
really appreciate it! |
