1. Calculation of your Tax Refund
In order to find out how much your Tax Refund will be, you can bring (or e-mail) your W-2 form or the last paycheck from each of your employers to our office. Our consultants will calculate your tax refund right away - for free! The calculation is only preliminary and is based on the information presented by you. It will serve you as a guide to what to expect and to begin the procedure.
2. Applying
In order to start the process we will need the following documents:
- Your W-2 form or the last paycheck from each of your employers;
- A copy of your Social Security Card;
- A copy of your J1 visa (for the period for which you would like to apply for tax refund);
- A copy of your DS-2019 (for the period for which you would like to apply for tax refund).
Bring these documents in the office of USIT COLOURS where our experts will take over – they will fill in and send your tax form, and will watch over the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and State Departments to stick to the promised deadlines.
If you have worked in USA with another type of visa, bring in all available documents mentioned above. We will inform you in case we need something else.
You do not need to worry if, for some reason, you cannot provide one of the necessary documents (like W-2 form for example). The only thing you should do is ask any of our consultants for assistance - this will cost you nothing and certainly will lead to a faster and easier refund of your taxes.
3. Processing – how long will it take
You will not wait long to have your taxes calculated and the documents filled – our consultants will do this right away. However, the processing of your tax return by the US Revenue Departments usually takes around 6 weeks. For some states this term is longer.
4. Receiving the refund
Standard Tax Refund Check
The check is issued by the US Revenue Department and you can receive it in one of our offices. The only thing left to do is to cash the check and spend your money with pleasure.
With Usit Colours cashing of the tax refund checks is also very easy. As a Usit Colours client you do not need to wait for the standard period of one month or pay double fees to cash your check. Just go to Bank DSK where you can get your money immediately and for the lowest fee – 7 EUR per check if you want your money in cash, and 5 EUR per check if you want them deposited in your bank account at the same bank.
