When you are working overseas, you will pay tax, just like you would in your home country. In the US, temporary workers, such as J1 participants, pay tax and are required by law to file a US tax return. Most temporary workers overpay tax in the US and each year leave behind thousands of US dollars in unclaimed tax refunds. The good news is that, at the end of the US tax year, the 31st of December, you will be able to claim a refund for any tax you overpaid during your time in the US.
