14. Why do I have a tax debt after your calculation?
Debt means that you paid less taxes than you had to. Even if you are a student who went to work for a summer with a J-1 visa, you have to pay taxes. To receive a US Tax Refund is possible only, if you overpay taxes and this happens when your employer deducts more taxes from your earnings than he had to.
Students are NOT exempt from paying taxes. So, if your employer deducted less taxes than he had to – it turns out that you owe taxes and have to pay the debt.
