關於報稅

大家好,剛到美國,問下關於報稅的問題:好象中國公民進入美國在183天之內不用報稅的問題.是在有工作的情況下也可以不報稅嗎?還有就是我屬於移民簽證. 有知道的幫下忙,謝謝

請問你工作的時候你的工資是拿現金還是支票，如果是支票你存入銀行是要報稅的

理論上講：
在美國掙到錢就要報稅。與身份沒關。也就是說即使是非法逗留美國的，只要掙到錢的也要報稅。
如果沒有工作當然可報稅也可不必報稅。
報稅並不是繳稅。也許是退稅。
報稅總是好的。報稅十年後的移民可享受政府福利。

第一次報稅最好請專業人員, 而且費用亦可抵稅. 美中之間有稅收協議, 其中有些相互減免條款, 綠卡持有人大概不在受益者之列, 如果能用英語有效閱讀的話, 不妨在國稅局網站試試, 能學到不少東西, 下列為有關條款(Publication 901, IRS)

China, People's Republic of

Income that residents of the People's Republic of China receive for personal services as independent contractors or self-employed individuals (independent personal services) that they perform during the tax year in the United States (except as athletes or public entertainers) is exempt from U.S. income tax if the residents:

Are present in the United States for no more than 183 days in the calendar year, and
Do not have a fixed base regularly available in the United States for performing the services.
If they have a fixed base available in the United States, they are taxable on the income attributable to the fixed base.

Pay received by residents of the People's Republic of China for services performed as employees (dependent personal services) in the United States (except as athletes or public entertainers) is exempt from U.S. tax if:

The residents are present in the United States for no more than 183 days in the calendar year,
The pay is paid by or for an employer who is not a U.S. resident, and
The pay is not borne by a permanent establishment or fixed base that the employer has in the United States.
These exemptions do not apply to directors' fees for service on the board of directors of a U.S. corporation.

These exemptions generally do not apply to income received as a public entertainer (such as a theater, motion picture, radio, or television artist, musician, or athlete). However, income of athletes or public entertainers from China participating in a cultural exchange program agreed upon by the U.S. and Chinese governments
