opt身份拿工资怎么样可以少扣税

这几样貌似在公司预口tax的时候就可以剩下来，Tax treaty benefits是要提交一张8233的表，medicare和ss t ...

有些公司确实不知道，见过先扣了然后说 sorry 退回的

social security and medicare tax这两个不用扣，如果扣了要跟公司要。
由于是non-resident alein报税所以不能claim standard deduction，但是可以用那个US-CHINA 5000 免税的treaty。这个明年报税的时候填就行，多交的能退回来。

medicare and SS Tax 不用, 其他都要交

opt身份相比H1B和绿卡已经少很多税了(fica &social security)
你可以通过放401K，HSA账户，捐款给NPO等方式来减少自己的税基。
有孩子有老婆的话可以加dependent,老婆有收入的话不算。

楼上的说得都不完整

medicare and SS Tax 不用交仅限于头五年，如果你是PhD毕业的很有可能已经过了五年，那就还是要交的

“Thus, to summarize, both the Internal Revenue Code and the Social Security Act allow an exemption from social security/Medicare taxes to alien students, scholars, teachers, researchers, trainees, physicians, au pairs, summer camp workers, and other nonimmigrants who have entered the United States on F-1, J-1, M-1, Q-1, or Q-2 visas and who are still classified as NONRESIDENT ALIENS under the residency rules of the Internal Revenue Code. As discussed above, this means that foreign students in F-1, J-1, M-1, Q-1 or Q-2 nonimmigrant status who have been in the United States less than 5 calendar years are still NONRESIDENT ALIENS and are still exempt from social security/Medicare taxes. This exemption also applies to any period in which the foreign student is in "practical training" allowed by USCIS, as long as the foreign student is still a NONRESIDENT ALIEN under the Internal Revenue Code. Foreign students in F-1, J-1, M-1, Q-1 or Q-2 nonimmigrant status who have been in the United States more than 5 calendar years are RESIDENT ALIENS and are liable for social security/Medicare taxes (unless they are exempt from FICA under the "student FICA exemption" discussed below).”
