Claiming Your Tax Refund as an International student who worked in the U.S.
Applying for Tax back:
When working as a student in the United States, taxes are withheld from your paychecks, but the tax rates are different from those applied to U.S. citizens. Since you are a visitor, your tax rates are typically lower, and at the end of the year, you can apply for a tax refund by completing a tax back registration form and providing the necessary documents.
