For H-2A agricultural workersPara trabajadores agrícolas H-2A
You worked here. You may even be owed money and not know it. Either way, the U.S. government wants a tax return for that year. We help you file your taxes right.Trabajaste aquí. Puede que hasta te deban dinero y no lo sepas. Sea como sea, el gobierno de EE. UU. quiere una declaración de impuestos de ese año. Te ayudamos a declarar bien.
H-2A workers are exempt from some taxes, but not all. Federal income tax still applies: it just doesn't come out of your paycheck. It gets settled once a year, when you file.
How much is owed depends on your days in the United States. Too few days, and you'll be taxed from the first dollar. Cross the line, and most of what you earn is protected: you may owe little or nothing. You might even qualify for tax credits. That's money paid to you, and filing is the only way to claim it.

Past seasons count too. Some of your days from the last two seasons add to your total. If you didn't cross the line last season, coming back may put you over it.Las temporadas pasadas también cuentan. Algunos de tus días de las últimas dos temporadas se suman a tu total. Si no cruzaste el límite la temporada pasada, volver puede ponerte encima.

What you need:Lo que necesitas:
Your season in the U.S. isn't fully over until your return is filed. Nothing was collected from your pay along the way, so everything gets worked out in one place, once a year.
That's not a problem; it's just how farm-visa pay works. But it does mean the return matters more for you than for most workers. There's no employer sending in payments under your name all season, and nobody mails you a finished number.
Filing is how you settle the year and know exactly where you stand with the U.S. government. Owe a little, owe nothing, or have money coming back: you only find out by filing.
