Taxes for short term immigration

[LucasVandeneede 0]

Hello!

I'm an architectural student from Europe and I am finishing my master degree in architecture next year in june.
For my 2 year internship (needed for becomming a licensed Belgian architect) I have the opportunity to have 6 (or 12) months abroad. I have some connections in New York
so I am considering moving to the Big Apple for several months but I was wondering about the amount of taxes I am going to pay.
After some research I think i'm going to earn about $2k-4k gross a month (~25k-50k a year).
I'm single, 27 and will be living in a small studio or apartment, not sure if other information is necessary...
After some research on the internet I've found this;

10% $0 – $9,275
15% $9,276 – $37,650
25% $37,651 – $91,150
28% $91,151 – $190,150
33% $190,151 – $413,350
35% $413,351 – $415,050
39.6% $415,051+
(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States)

Will these precentages count for me as well?! Does this include everything? (just this simple calculation for my gross-net income?)

Besides the needed documents for my visa (which will no problem probably), should I need to take care/be aware of some other things about taxes/immigration/...?
Anything is welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Lucas

This is much more useful than Wiki, scroll down, put in your state, year, income, etc and it'll give you everything you need. If you're unsure of some of the spaces, just leave them blank. All you really need to put in is marital status, state and income.

To answer your other question; hold on to all and any medical expenses, you can claim them on your taxes(I think?)

Hope this helps
