美国学生签证能退税吗？
理论上，所有在美国产生的消费都可以申请Tax Back Tax 1099是纳税人的报税表格之一（纳税人必须自己进行报税；但是有收入的人都要申报）。它显示了当年纳税人所有的海外支出(Foreign Income & Gains)部分。通常这些海外支出的来源都是国外公司的股息、利息和租金等收入。如果这些收入被交税给外国政府而不是交给美国政府的联邦政府或州政府的话，那么就可以申请Tax Back了 (注：申请Tax back不是退还税款而是把多缴的税款退回） 在美国，留学生从境外取得的收入要缴纳联邦所得税，而美国的个人所得税税率最高可达35%。在申请时，需要将1099-INT，1099-DIV，1099-B以及W2的复印件寄去。
另外，在申请前请确认： 是否持有I-20表，因为税务局只接受F，J非移民学生的申请； 是否在申请期间仍在读书或已在毕业一年内； 如果已不在学校学习并且没有工作，则不能申请tax back. 所以大家还是应该尽量利用合法身份完成学业后找工作以获取更多的美国工作经历来提高未来在美发展的竞争力！
目前常见的海外收入主要是以下几项： 1099-R retirement income，包括IRAs and Keoghs， tax free when withdrawn; Interest on money held in a savings or checking account is usually reported by your bank as interest income， but may be foreign source because some banks have branches overseas or do business with foreign customers. The IRS uses the information from Form W-2 to see if it agrees with what your bank reports. However， they will not accept any form of interest income that you received through online banking without a W-9 on file for that online account provider， so make sure all relevant accounts are properly documented！ Interest from an HSA should also be reported． Payments to government agencies can be included as Foreign Source Income. For example， If an individual gets Social Security benefits after working abroad， there would be US taxes due on this amount， and it could count as foreign earned income. Also， payments made to foreign governments for federal， state or local taxes may qualify depending on how much was paid and where those taxes were actually owed.
For more details please refer to URL There are two types of refunds： Individual refund——Refunds go directly to taxpayers filing their own return， who must complete Form 1040X， Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. They cannot get them via a tax preparer unless the taxpayer signed a power of attorney giving the preparer specific authority to act as his/her agent on the issue of requesting a Tax Refund. A taxpayer who did not owe taxes last year but had excess credits carried over does not need to file Form 1040X since he only needs to request a credit or
