She would get a lot of money back in DC, tho, so should definitely file state to off-set federal. It actually does effect immigration and does effect even the granting of a travel visa. They know she is here making money, even if you don't list them on your return.

I don't think you or many host parents understand. This year, au pairs owe a lot of money. So no, they won't get a refund. They will have to pay.

Nope. Au Pair is getting money back from DC. She can do an itemized return and deduct moving expenses, education expenses, etc. Doesn’t need to take standard deduction.

Only for members of the armed forces.

From what I have read, au pairs are considered nonresident aliens and are not allowed to take the standard deduction this year. Or itemized deductions. So it is just a flat 10% tax for them.

Here is a link to the 1040 NR form to help them fill it out.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040nr.pdf

And the INSTRUCTIONS:

I would recommend everyone read the official instructions before speculating.

For OP: Yes, APs need to file their state taxes too.

What moving expenses? A new suitcase, baggage fees? How much is that, $200?




Either way, no can do..

Deductions
You can claim deductions to figure your effectively connected taxable income (shown on page 1 of Form 1040NR). You generally cannot claim deductions related to income that is not connected with your U.S. business activities (shown on page 4 of Form 1040NR). Except for personal exemptions, and certain itemized deductions, you can claim deductions only to the extent they are connected with your effectively connected income.

Nonresident aliens can deduct certain itemized deductions if they receive income effectively connected with their U.S. trade or business. These deductions include:

State and local income taxes,
Charitable contributions to U.S. non-profit organizations,
Casualty and theft losses,
Miscellaneous itemized deductions, and
The ordinary and necessary expenses related to a U.S. trade or business.
Use Schedule A of Form 1040NR to claim itemized deductions. If you are filing Form 1040NR-EZ, you can only claim a deduction for state or local income taxes. If you are claiming any other deduction, you must file Form 1040NR. For a discussion about certain itemized deductions refer to IRS Publication 519.

They CAN itemize

They are nonresident aliens. If you take the position that they are resident aliens, you are supposed to withhold social security and medicare from their wages, which I am assuming you do not.

No, they are not. “Resident” aliens have a green card, for example. J1 (AP) visa is a nonresident visa because they’re expected to go HOME.
